Ensure Your Senior Pet’s Health with VetPlus Senior Health Checks

As our furry friends age, their health needs change, requiring more attentive and specialised care. At VetPlus, we offer comprehensive Senior Health Checks tailored to the needs of older pets (Dogs over 7 and Cats over 9), ensuring they remain healthy and happy in their golden years. Here’s a detailed look at what our Senior Health Check includes and why each component is vital for your aging pet’s well-being.

Our Senior Pet Health Check focuses on these key health areas:

• Comprehensive Physical Examination (Joints, Ears, Internal Organs)

• Careful check of any Lumps and Bumps

• Dental Examination

• Urinalysis (Urine Test)

• Weight Review and Nutrition Assessment

• Vaccination Check

• Blood Analysis

Your 30-minute consultation also provides an opportunity to raise any other concerns you might have. Our in-house diagnostic laboratory enables us to run your pet’s blood or urine tests on-site during their examination. This means we can identify any underlying issues and provide an immediate and tailored treatment plan for your pet.

Comprehensive Physical (Joints, Ears, Internal Organs)

A thorough physical examination focusing on your pet’s joints, ears, and internal organs.

As pets age, they can develop joint issues such as arthritis, which can cause pain and reduce mobility. Regular checks help in early detection and management. Ear infections and problems with internal organs like the heart, liver, and kidneys are also more common in older pets. Early detection through regular physical exams can prevent these issues from becoming severe.

Lumps and Bumps Check

A careful examination of any lumps, bumps, or growths on your pet’s body.

While many lumps and bumps are benign, some can be indicative of serious conditions such as cancer. Early identification and biopsy can lead to timely treatment, improving your pet’s prognosis.

Urinalysis (Urine Test)

A test that analyses your pet’s urine to check for infections, kidney function, and other metabolic conditions.

Urinalysis can detect urinary tract infections, kidney disease, and diabetes early on. These conditions are more prevalent in senior pets, and early treatment can significantly improve your pet’s quality of life.

Dental Examination

A thorough examination of your pet’s teeth and gums to check for dental disease.

Dental disease is common in older pets and can lead to pain, difficulty eating, and systemic infections. Regular dental checks and cleanings help prevent these issues and maintain overall health.

Weight Review & Nutrition Assessment

An evaluation of your pet’s weight and dietary needs to ensure they are getting proper nutrition.

Maintaining a healthy weight is crucial for preventing obesity-related conditions such as diabetes and joint problems. Nutritional needs change with age, and a tailored diet can help manage weight and overall health.

Vaccination Check

Ensuring your pet’s vaccinations are up to date to protect against common diseases.

Older pets can have weakened immune systems, making them more susceptible to infections. Keeping vaccinations current helps protect them from preventable diseases.

Blood Analysis

Blood tests can reveal a lot about your pet’s health, including early signs of diabetes, kidney disease, liver issues, and other metabolic conditions. Regular blood analysis helps in early detection and management of these conditions, ensuring your pet stays healthy.
