Comprehensive Senior Pet Care at Lakeside Animal Hospital

Pets are considered “seniors” at around 7 years of age, and pets age at a rate much faster than humans. Just like humans, our diet, exercise, and health change as we age, and your pets’ visits to the veterinarian are just as important as your trips to your doctor.

As your pet gets older, it is especially important to watch for subtle symptoms of illness. Many senior dogs or cats who are “slowing down” actually have a medical problem that we can treat at our Plantation pet clinic.

Common symptoms include:

Difficulty rising after lying down
Intermittent vomiting
Weight gain or weight loss.

What does your senior pet need?

Physical examination by a veterinarian at least every six months.
Wellness blood work at least once every year.
A nutrition plan that provides all the key nutrients without excess calories.
Custom care directed by your veterinarian to address your pet’s particular needs.
Our laser equipment can be used in therapeutic treatments.
