Special Consideration for Older Pets

Older pets need special attention to detect and manage the conditions developing with age. The definition of an "older pet" varies with species and breed. We recommend annual blood testing after age six, for most pets, to provide early diagnosis of diseases of the kidneys, heart and liver as well as diabetes. Nutritional needs change as pets age and providing the correct diet can help to prevent or modify some aging conditions. New treatments are now available for arthritis and cognitive dysfunction/senility which are most effective when started before the conditions are fully advanced. Rimadyl^®, for arthritis, and Anipryl^®, for cognitive dysfunction, can keep your pet active and alert much longer than was previously possible. In general, early detection will extend your pet's life. Proper treatment and diet will improve your pet's quality of life.
