Geriatric Care for Pets, Boulder County

Typical Health Problems

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

While we can certainly celebrate this progress, pet owners and their veterinarians are now also facing more age-related conditions than they did in the past. 

Senior pets are typically prone to these conditions:

Veterinary Care for Seniors

Our vets will give your senior pet a thorough examination, inquire about their life at home in detail and perform tests that may be needed to gain additional insight into his or her general physical health and condition. 

Based on our findings, the vet will recommend a treatment plan that may include activities, dietary changes and medications to help improve your senior pet's health, comfort and well-being. 

Routine Wellness Exams

Preventative care is critical to helping your senior pet live a happy, healthy and fulfilled life. It also gives our veterinarians the chance to detect diseases early. 

With early detection of disease, we can help preserve your senior pet's health and catch developing health issues before they cause long-term problems. 

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