Have you noticed changes in your senior pet’s eating or drinking habits?

It might be more than just getting old—it could be dental disease or another underlying issue. Senior pets usually need less food due to decreased activity, so it’s essential to monitor their weight closely.

Weight loss isn't a normal part of aging and can be a sign of disease. Keep an eye out for these changes and ensure your furry friend gets regular dental check-ups.

Let's keep our senior pets happy and healthy!

Slowing down on walks? 🤔 It's easy to assume they're just getting old, but…

often, it's a sign of something more, like arthritis or lameness. Senior dogs might need slower, sniffy walks to stay comfortable and happy. They could also benefit from eating a bit less and having a padded bed to ease joint pain.

Don’t forget regular nail trims since they're not walking as much. If you notice these mobility changes, it’s time for a vet check-up.

Get in touch today to book in for our Senior Pet Wellness clinics.

Let’s keep our senior pets comfortable and enjoying life to the fullest! 🐶

As our pets age, their needs change.
We can help them by regularly assessing their health and lifestyle and making any necessary adjustments to ensure they have a good quality of life.

Old age itself is not a disease, and there are many ways we can help pets with age-related conditions to continue to live life to the full.

High blood pressure (hypertension) is often symptomless in cats, which is why it’s so dangerous. It’s most common in older cats or those with conditions like kidney disease or hyperthyroidism (when the cat’s thyroid glands produce too much hormone).

Regular blood pressure checks can help us catch it early, avoiding issues like sudden blindness or damage to vital organs.

🚗 Follow the same safe travel tips you used on the way to the vet.

👃 If you have multiple cats, be sure to supervise them when you arrive since the returning cat may smell different after their visit.

⏲️ Give your cat time to readjust and don't overwhelm them with attention.

If you have any specific concerns about traveling with your cat or managing their stress, please do reach out to the team or ask next time you visit us.

So, you’ve arrived and parked outside… now what?

🤗 Carry the carrier using the top handle with one hand and support the bottom with the other.

📶 When checking in, our reception team will guide you, and some practices may even have a designated cat waiting area.

⏩ Keep the carrier facing towards you so your cat can see you, and keep the sides of the carrier covered to create a safe space.

If your cat is prone to stress, please do ring our team and ask if you can wait in the car until your appointment time.

🚫 Always use a cat carrier during travel; securing your pet whilst driving could be a finable offense.

🔒 Secure the carrier in your car by using a cushion or a towelon the back seat secure using the seat belt.

😻 Cover the carrier with a towel and reassure your cat by speaking calmly.

🙅‍♀️ Withhold food for two hours before travel if your cat is prone to stress or travel sickness.

Start the process before the appointment has even happened! 🏡😽

🔓 Leave the carrier out and open for your cat to explore, using treats and toys to encourage them.

🏛️ Choose a purpose-built, solid carrier with front and top access and easy-open clips.

👃 Add a non-slip liner with a familiar scent and consider using a pheromone spray to reduce stress.

Next time you and your cat visit us, please do ask us more information. 💛

Bones Aren’t Best 🦴
🍗 Cooked bones from meat, poultry, or fish present a dangerous threat to pets. They can splinter and cause choking, blockages, or even puncture your pet's digestive system.

Keep leftover bones well out of reach and opt for pet-safe treats instead! 🐕🛑
