Senior Care

Caring for Your Senior Pet

As pets age, they require extra attention to stay comfortable and healthy. Lumps, such as lipomas (fatty tissue), are common, but others may be cysts, hematomas, or even cancerous. Any lump the size of a pea or larger that has been present for over a month should be checked with an aspiration.

Senior pets may also experience vision and hearing loss, incontinence, or dental issues that can cause pain or infection. While slowing down is often attributed to aging, it could be due to an underlying condition that can be managed for a better quality of life. With regular care and plenty of love, their golden years can be their best!
