Dr. Casper’s favorite kind of patient? The ones with a little gray around the muzzle. 💙
Senior pets need a little extra care to keep them happy and comfortable in their golden years. A few tips from our team:
🩺 Schedule checkups every 6 months. Pets age faster than we do, so twice-yearly exams help us catch changes early.
🩸 Don’t skip senior bloodwork. It helps us spot issues like kidney disease, liver problems, thyroid changes, and diabetes, often before your pet shows any signs.
🐾 Watch their mobility. Slowing down on walks, trouble with stairs, or hesitating to jump up can mean joint pain, and there are lots of ways we can help.
🦷 Keep up with dental care. Dental disease is common in older pets and can affect their overall health.
👀 Notice the little changes. Drinking more water, weight loss or gain, or acting confused at night are all worth mentioning at their next visit.
