Senior screenings help monitor the health changes that come with age, ensuring your pet stays comfortable and active.
What Changes As Your Pet Ages
From age 7, health conditions become more common and are often subtle. Because these changes develop gradually, your pet may not show obvious signs at home until a condition is advanced.
Kidney Function
Kidney disease affects 1 in 3 senior cats and becomes more common in aging dogs. In many cases, up to 75% of function is lost before a pet shows obvious outward signs of illness.
Cardiac Health
By age 9, nearly 1 in 3 pets have underlying heart disease. Conditions like high blood pressure or valve disease often show no outward symptoms until identified through professional screening.
Cancer Risk
Cancer is a leading cause of death in senior pets. Risk increases to 1 in 2 for dogs over age 10, often progressing without outward signs until an advanced stage.
Mobility Support
Slowing down is often a sign of chronic joint discomfort rather than just "old age." Early detection of mobility changes helps keep your senior pet active and pain-free.
Why Senior Pet Health Screening Matters
Senior pets are at higher risk for chronic conditions that may not show immediate symptoms. Health screenings detect these issues early, encouraging proactive management.
Establising a baseline
A baseline defines what is normal for your pet, allowing any deviations to be identified earlier.
Better outcomes
Early detection allows us to manage health changes before symptoms appear, ensuring more effective intervention and more good years together.
Peace of Mind
Screening replaces uncertainty with clarity, giving you the confidence that you are staying ahead of your pet’s needs.
