Clover’s Walk—Part 2 video….

Since September is Senior Pet Month, we wanted to highlight a condition that we can see with older pets. These videos show Clover, a Welsh Terrier, getting a bit confused before starting a walk. Her owner carried her down the road just a bit then she regained her composure and had a normal, happy walk! Confusion can be a sign of Canine Cognitive Dysfuntion, and we have a variety of things we can do to support dogs (and cats - they can get cognitive dysfunction too!) with this condition. Stay tuned on our page for things that can help, or give us a call at (614)888-2100! You can also search DISHAA on the web to learn more about common symptoms.

September is Senior Pet Month and we love our senior patients! Chase is a new patient at LPWC and was recently adopted. He is 10 years old and the sweetest little scruffy man. He has a cuff on his front limb because Kameron is measuring his blood pressure as a part of his senior blood work panel.

Is Your Senior Pet One of the 14%?
It’s reported that some 39% of the pets owned in the U.S. are older than 7, which is generally the age at which most dogs and cats are considered seniors. Sadly, only about 14% of senior animals undergo a regular health screening.

The joys of having an older pet are many—but keeping your canine or feline friend healthy in their later years does take a bit more effort. We want to help you have as many healthy years with your pet as possible, which is why we always recommend that pets over 7 have a regular health screening twice per year.

In addition to an exam and blood screenings, we also advise that older pets have abdominal ultrasound, and X-rays. While blood screenings are an excellent diagnostic tool for many diseases and conditions, there are several organ systems that produce no enzymes, and so their health can’t be measured in blood.

Just like people, senior pets are at an increased risk of cancer and heart disease. X-rays and ultrasounds help us catch both these conditions early when they can be more effectively treated. In fact, the American College of Veterinary Radiology reports that a recent study of veterinary ultrasounds found abnormalities in 80% of senior dogs over 9.

If it’s been over a year since your senior pet has seen the vet, we encourage you to make your pet part of the lucky 14%! The sooner we catch potential problems, the better our chances of keeping your pet healthy longer. Give us a call at (614)888-2100 or go to our website to schedule your pet's appointment https://lifetimepetwellness.com/

This handsome fellow is Tucker! He's a senior Pekingese that visited us recently. Did you know September is senior pet month?! We celebrate seniors by providing individualized medicine like titer testing. Many times these tests show that senior pets have adequate antibodies, indicating that some booster vaccines are not needed.

Toby is a senior pet that had fallen and was limping. After 3 adjustments and some Standard Process Musculoskeletal Support he is doing great and moving great. Over time we all beat up our bodies which can create movement issues. These movement issues can have implications for the entire body. Adjustments and good nutritional supplements can be very beneficial for senior pets to keep them feeling good and staying healthy.

Do you ever wonder how we monitor your pet while they're under anesthesia? Our experienced staff including the veterinarian and registered technicians follow a intensive checklist for patient safety including constant monitoring of statistics like heart and respiratory rates, and blood pressure. We use this sheet to record everything and enter it into the chart. You can also see the EKG and oxygen monitoring here too!

Taz and Nala are brother and sister kitties that came in for senior wellness exams! They were both nervous, so they stayed together in their carrier while they had their blood pressures taken to help each other feel more comfortable. Blood pressures are taken with wellness senior lab work panels to monitor for high blood pressure or they can be done more often if monitoring for specific diseases.
