Geriatric Veterinary Care in Roseville, CA

What is Geriatric Veterinary Care?

Geriatric veterinary care is tailored to the needs of older pets, typically those considered senior by their species’ and breed’s standards. This type of care is crucial as older pets are more susceptible to various chronic conditions such as arthritis, kidney disease, heart disease, and cancer. Early detection and proactive management of these conditions can significantly enhance their quality of life.

Services Offered

Our comprehensive geriatric care includes a variety of services designed to maintain health and comfort as pets age:

  • Regular Health Examinations: More frequent health checks, ideally twice a year, to monitor the subtle changes that might indicate health issues.
  • Customized Nutrition Plans: Nutrition plays a pivotal role in managing age-related conditions. We provide guidance on diets that support joint health, kidney function, and overall well-being.
  • Pain Management: As pets age, they may experience pain from conditions like arthritis. We offer a range of pain management solutions to keep them comfortable.
  • Dental Care: Regular dental care is vital, as older pets are more prone to dental diseases, which can affect their overall health.
  • Weight Management: Maintaining an optimal weight reduces the stress on aging joints and organs, helping to keep your pet active and healthy.

The Importance of Early Detection

One of the key aspects of geriatric care is the early detection of health issues. Through regular check-ups and diagnostic tests, such as blood tests and imaging, we can identify problems before they become severe, allowing for more effective management.
