Geriatric Pet Care
As pets grow older, Companion Animal Hospital brings them the extra attention, comfort, and understanding they need with our dedicated geriatric pet care in Cameron Park, CA, designed to help aging dogs and cats enjoy happy, healthy golden years.
What to Expect During Senior Pet Visits
Regular veterinary visits are essential for detecting early signs of disease and adjusting care as your pet’s needs evolve. During a senior pet exam, we typically perform:
Comprehensive Physical Exam
Assess your pet’s weight, mobility, heart, and organ function
Blood and Urine Testing
Monitor for conditions like diabetes, kidney disease, or thyroid imbalance
Dental Evaluation
Check for gum disease or painful oral infections that can affect eating and behavior
Pain and Mobility Assessment
Evaluate arthritis and joint discomfort to optimize pain management
Nutrition and Weight Review
Adjust feeding plans to support metabolism and maintain a healthy weight
Vaccination and Parasite Control
Maintain essential protection while tailoring protocols to your pet’s age and lifestyle
We recommend semiannual checkups for senior pets to ensure early intervention and proactive care.
