What to Expect at a Senior Pet Wellness Exam!

As pets age, changes in mobility can become more noticeable. During a senior pet wellness exam, our veterinary team will take a comprehensive look at your pet's joint health, muscle strength, and overall movement. We’ll check for signs of arthritis, stiffness, or discomfort that may be slowing them down. Early detection can help us recommend treatments to keep your senior pet comfortable and active longer!

Has your furry friend had their senior wellness check-up yet? Let’s ensure they’re living their golden years in comfort. Schedule today!
