Geriatric Care for Pets, Brooklyn

Senior Care for Cats & Dogs in Brooklyn, NY

To help them maintain a good quality of life as they continue to age, senior pets need routine preventive veterinary care and early diagnosis throughout their golden years.

Diligent care can help prolong your pet's life and good health as they age, so it's important that they attend regularly scheduled wellness exams, even if they appear healthy. 

Our veterinarians are here to help geriatric pets in Brooklyn achieve optimal health by identifying and treating emerging health issues early, and providing proactive treatment while we can still effectively and easily manage them. 

Typical Health Problems

Due to improved dietary options and better veterinary care, companion cats and dogs are living far longer today than they have in the past. 

While this is certainly something to be celebrated, pet owners and veterinarians now face more age-related concerns than they did in the past as well.

Senior pets are typically prone to the following conditions:

Veterinary Care for Seniors

Our vets will thoroughly examine your senior pet, ask about their home life in detail, and perform any tests that may be necessary to receive additional insight into your cat or dog's general physical health and condition. 

Based on the findings, we'll recommend a treatment plan that can potentially include medications, activities, and dietary changes that may help improve your senior pet's health, well-being, and comfort. 

Routine Wellness Exams

Preventive care is essential to helping your senior pet live a healthy, happy, and fulfilled life. It also allows our veterinarians to detect diseases early. 

Early detection of disease will help preserve your pet's physical health and catch emerging health issues before they develop into long-term problems.

With regular physical examinations, your pet will have the best chance of quality long-term health.
