The Golden Years bring more changes than you can see.
Growing older brings changes that aren't always obvious. Even cats that seem healthy can be experiencing changes beneath the surface. That's why regular wellness visits and early detection are one of the best ways to help them stay healthier, more comfortable, and by your side for longer.
Help support their Golden Years:
• Schedule a wellness visit every 6 months
• Feed a diet tailored to their changing needs
• Keep them active with gentle, regular play
• Provide supportive bedding and easy access around the home
• Watch for subtle changes in movement, appetite, behaviour, or bathroom habits
Ask us about our Golden Years Wellness Bundles, designed to support your cat’s changing needs with age and help make proactive senior care simple.

They still act like a puppy. That's exactly why we look deeper. 🐾
As dogs enter their Golden Years, an Early Detection Exam helps us look beyond the obvious through a comprehensive wellness assessment and conversations about the changes that come with age.
Because every breed ages differently, some dogs may benefit from senior wellness care as early as 5 to 6 years of age. Ask your veterinary team when it's the right time for your dog. Together, we can identify concerns earlier, establish valuable health baselines, and help your dog enjoy more healthy years by your side.

Their grey hairs may be easy to see. The changes happening inside often aren't.
As cats age, many health conditions, including arthritis, kidney disease, thyroid disease and diabetes can develop quietly with minimal signs in early stages.
Regular wellness exams and diagnostic testing help detect changes early, giving your cat the best opportunity for more healthy Golden Years.

Their grey hairs may be easy to see, but their pain isn't. Our pets are experts at hiding discomfort.
Subtle changes can be early signs of pain:
• Less play or energy, and more sleep
• Hesitation on stairs or jumping
• Eating less or chewing differently
• Licking or grooming one area often
