🐾 Senior pets deserve a little extra care! 💚
As our pets get older, regular health checks become even more important. Just like us, our furry friends can develop health conditions as they age, and many can go unnoticed without routine monitoring.
Here’s Catherine and Twiggy having a blood pressure check! 🩺🐱
Why is checking blood pressure important?
High blood pressure (hypertension) can develop in older pets, particularly cats, and often there are no obvious signs in the early stages. If left untreated, it can damage vital organs, including the eyes, kidneys, heart and brain.
Regular blood pressure checks help us detect problems early, monitor existing conditions and start treatment when needed — helping our senior pets stay comfortable and healthy for longer🐾
As a general guide, we recommend more frequent health checks for senior pets, often every 6 months, depending on their individual needs and medical history.
