As our pets grow older they’re far more likely to suffer from a variety of medical conditions Inc, obesity, arthritis and behavioural problems.

Our senior clinics are designed to help identify any possible existing problems as well as give you the knowledge to identify developing problems. For example many people believe that a reduced exercise tolerance or reluctance to play is just a part of growing older, when really your pet may be suffering from arthritis and be experiencing some discomfort.

When your pet comes in to the senior clinic we will ask you to complete a detailed questionnaire which will help us identify any problem areas. Your pet will then have a nurse examination which as well as covering a weight and body condition score will also cover a dental check, eyes ears and skin, checking for any lumps. You will also be offered the opportunity to have a full wellness profile done for your pet which includes blood and urine tests all at a special senior rate.

Once your pet has received their health check a Nurse will discuss any diet and lifestyle changes required. They will then refer you and your pet on to the Veterinary Surgeon for further investigation and treatment if required or arrange a follow up appointment to continue monitoring your pet’s progress.
