As pets age, they require specialised care to maintain their

health and quality of life. At Hallam Park Animal Hospital, we offer
comprehensive senior pet care services to address the unique needs of older
cats and dogs.

Early Detection through Blood Screening

Regular blood tests are crucial for senior pets, as they
can:

• Detect illnesses before visible symptoms appear
• Identify decreasing organ function early
• Monitor chronic conditions and treatment effectiveness

We recommend annual blood tests for pets, increasing to
twice yearly from age 7-9.

Early detection through regular check-ups and blood screenings can help manage these conditions and improve quality of life for senior dogs

To help your senior pet thrive, we offer:

• Regular health exams (typically every 6 months)
• Nutritional counselling for age-appropriate diets
• Pain management and arthritis care
• Dental care to prevent pain and infection
• Cognitive health monitoring

Our senior pet wellness plans include comprehensive care to address these issues and more, ensuring your pet ages comfortably and gracefully.

By prioritising early detection and tailored care, we can help extend the healthy years of your senior pet’s life, allowing them to enjoy their golden years to the fullest
