Pet Geriatric Care
Loving, Lifelong Care for Your Senior Pet
Just like in humans, the health needs for senior pets can be much more demanding than for younger animals. Our team at Justin Animal Hospital offers specialized support for our older patients with personalized, proactive pet geriatric care in Justin, TX, designed to help address age-related issues before they can affect your companion during their golden years.
What Is Pet Geriatric Care?
Pet geriatric care focuses on the specific medical, emotional, and nutritional needs of senior pets. Dogs and cats typically enter their senior stage around age 7–10, depending on breed and size. During this life stage, pets are more likely to develop chronic conditions like arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, and cognitive decline.
Our goal is to keep your senior pet feeling their best with early detection, gentle treatments, and personalized plans that evolve with your pet’s needs.
What’s Included in Senior Pet Care?
At Justin Animal Hospital, our senior pet wellness plans may include:
Comprehensive Physical Exams
Twice-yearly exams help us monitor for age-related changes and catch problems early.
Bloodwork and Diagnostic Testing
Regular testing helps screen for underlying conditions like kidney disease, liver issues, thyroid disorders, or cancer.
Arthritis and Pain Management
We offer modern treatment options including joint supplements, medications, and cold laser therapy to keep pets mobile and pain-free.
Nutritional Counseling
Older pets benefit from targeted diets that support joint health, cognitive function, and ideal weight.
Dental Care
Dental disease is common in senior pets and can contribute to serious health issues—routine cleanings are essential!
Behavioral and Cognitive Health Support
If your pet is showing signs of confusion, anxiety, or sleep disturbances, we can help with behavior plans and appropriate therapies.
