Senior pet care
At Ridgeview Veterinary Clinic, senior pet care is about celebrating the life of your pet and ensuring their later years are filled with comfort and joy. We’re committed to providing the special attention and care that senior pets deserve.
At Ridgeview Veterinary Clinic, we hold a special place in our hearts for senior pets. Understanding that dogs and cats age much faster than humans, we recognize the unique care requirements of these cherished ‘golden year’ companions. The onset of a pet’s senior years varies based on species, breed, size, and health status, and we’re here to guide you through this phase with compassion and expertise.
As pets enter their senior years, we recommend more frequent veterinary visits to proactively manage the natural changes and challenges that come with age. Our team provides personalized care, focusing on the prevention and early detection of age-related conditions such as degenerative diseases, cancer, and cognitive disorders. A thorough evaluation of each senior pet’s individual needs allows us to tailor our approach, ensuring they enjoy the highest quality of life possible.
We are also dedicated to offering palliative and hospice care for pets in their advanced stages of life. This aspect of our service is designed to provide comfort, manage pain, and maintain the dignity of your pet during their final days. Our goal is to support both you and your pet with sensitivity and understanding, making their golden years as comfortable and loving as possible.
