A New Standard of Care for Senior Pets
Senior pets deserve more than routine care—they deserve a revolution. At Lincoln Hills Veterinary Hospital, we’re redefining veterinary care for older pets, ensuring they receive the attention and support they need in their golden years.
Our skilled veterinary team is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for senior pets while empowering pet owners to take an active role in their care. Through thoughtful decision-making and mindful treatment, we focus on what truly matters—helping pets age comfortably and keeping the bond you share as strong as ever. Because the love you share with your furry friend is priceless.
Bi-Annual Wellness Exams for Senior Pets
As pets grow older, they may experience changes such as reduced hearing, vision loss, arthritis, cognitive decline, or shifts in behavior. These changes often develop gradually, so we recommend bi-annual senior wellness exams to monitor for age-related conditions.
Aging pets can be prone to the following conditions:
- Joint or bone disorders
- Heart disease
- Blindness and hearing loss
- Diabetes
- Kidney disease
- Urinary tract disease
During a senior wellness exam, we will conduct a thorough exam to identify issues early and gain insight into their overall health. Based on our evaluation, we will craft a care plan that may include medication, activities, dietary adjustments, and other therapies to enhance your pet’s well-being.
Achy Joints? Let’s Talk About Osteoarthritis in Pets
Osteoarthritis—also called arthritis or degenerative joint disease—can slow pets down at any age. Like humans, our furry friends can experience joint pain, which makes everyday activities harder.
Subtle signs like stiffness, limping, or a reluctance to play may indicate joint discomfort.
Advanced diagnostics, including X-rays, help us pinpoint the issue and develop a tailored plan to manage arthritis. With the right care, we will keep those tails wagging and paws moving comfortably!
