Veterinary Senior Services

Our senior pets often experience age-related health problems, including arthritis, dental disease, weight gain, and an increased risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, kidney disease, and cancer. At Blue Bear Veterinary Clinic, we offer tailored care for your beloved pets to ensure they continue to live pain-free, active lives.

Here is a look at some of the senior pet services we offer:

Wellness Check-Ups: Regular wellness check-ups are essential for senior pets. They allow us to monitor your furry friend's health and identify any potential issues early on. During each visit, we will check your pet's weight, conduct a head-to-tail exam, and evaluate mobility, dental health, organ function, and more. We may also recommend diagnostic blood tests and labs to check for underlying health conditions.

Nutritional Counseling: Proper nutrition is critical for senior pets to support their aging bodies. We offer nutritional counseling services to help you determine the ideal diet for your furry friend. From weight management to joint health or chronic disease support, we provide personalized dietary recommendations to help your pet thrive.

Pain Management: We offer pain management options to enhance mobility and ensure your pet is comfortable during the golden years. From pain medication to anti-inflammatories, supportive care, or alternative pain relief methods, our goal is to help your furry friend stay mobile and lead a happy and fulfilling life.

Chronic Disease Management: Senior pets are more prone to chronic conditions like kidney disease, diabetes, or heart disease. Our team will closely monitor your pet's concerns and prescribe medications, dietary changes, or regular monitoring to address specific health concerns. Managing chronic health conditions is vital for maintaining your pet's quality of life.

Joint Care: Arthritis is a common degenerative condition in senior pets, causing stiffness, pain, and decreased mobility. We may recommend joint supplements, pain medications, or physical therapy to help your pet stay comfortable and mobile. We may also suggest lifestyle modifications, such as providing soft bedding, using ramps, or avoiding stairs to help support your pet's joint health.
