Senior Pet Care In Pasadena, CA

Through every life stage, your pet’s basic needs, including diet and exercise, will change. A pet is considered a senior around the age of 7 to 10 years old due to the fact that he or she has aged about 7 years to every 1 of yours. It is important to know your pet’s age so the entry into and journey through the senior years can be managed with the proper care.

When a pet reaches senior status, health can change quite rapidly. Dogs and cats are good at keeping health problems a secret, which is why routine care is so important. It is also necessary that you know how to help your pet handle environmental and physical stresses as he or she will naturally become less tolerant and able to cope. At Petsadena, we offer compassionate care that promotes health and happiness as the years creep up.

Routine Care For The Senior Pet

The sooner that health conditions are identified, the easier they may be to treat conservatively. We like to see senior pets every six months.
