Senior pets need a little extra care
Our senior pets, often lovingly called our “golden oldies”, hold a special place in our hearts. While age varies by species and breed, many pets are considered seniors around age 7, with larger breeds often reaching senior status even sooner. Just like people, as pets age their bodies change, and a once-a-year checkup may no longer be enough to support their health.
Veterinarians recommend wellness visits every six months for senior pets to help catch changes early. Older pets may benefit from adjustments such as specialized nutrition, joint and mobility support, focused dental care, and routine bloodwork to detect issues like kidney disease, diabetes, or thyroid changes before symptoms become more serious. These proactive steps can make a meaningful difference in comfort and quality of life.
Senior pets are family – wise, loyal, and deeply loved. If you notice changes in energy, appetite, mobility, or behavior, please bring those concerns to your True.Vet team. Early evaluation can help diagnose or rule out problems and ensure your pet gets the care they deserve.
