Senior Wellness
Just like people, the medical needs of senior animals change over time, and as your cat or dog gets older, they require different nutrition programs, exercise routines and are prone to a variety of new diseases. Separating the natural aging process from emerging medical disorders becomes increasingly difficult with senior pets. Routine veterinary visits are the best way to identify, track progress and treat problems early on. Shamrock Animal Hospital recommends that senior pets see their veterinarian every six months.
