Senior Pet Care

Thoughtful Support for Pets in Their Golden Years

As pets age, their needs change. At O’Connor Animal Hospital, our senior pet care services focus on early detection, comfort, and quality of life—helping your pet stay happy, active, and comfortable as they grow older.

Comprehensive Senior Wellness Exams

Senior pets benefit from more frequent wellness visits to monitor changes that may not be obvious at home. During these exams, we assess mobility, weight, organ function, behavior, and overall health to identify age-related concerns early.

Preventive Screenings & Early Detection

Routine diagnostic testing plays a key role in senior pet health. Blood work, urine testing, and other screenings help us detect conditions such as kidney disease, diabetes, arthritis, and thyroid disorders before they progress.

Early detection allows for earlier intervention and more effective long-term management.

Comfort, Mobility & Pain Management

Arthritis and joint stiffness are common in aging pets. Our veterinarians create individualized treatment plans that may include medications, supplements, weight management, and lifestyle adjustments to improve comfort and mobility.

Nutrition & Lifestyle Guidance

Proper nutrition becomes increasingly important as pets age. We provide tailored dietary recommendations based on your pet’s health status, weight, and activity level, along with guidance on appropriate exercise and daily routines.

Managing Chronic Conditions

Many senior pets live full, happy lives while managing chronic conditions. Our team works closely with you to monitor ongoing health concerns and adjust treatment plans as your pet’s needs evolve.
