As your pet enters their senior years, their health needs change. Animal Health Care Center offers specialized senior pet care designed to keep aging dogs and cats comfortable, active, and well-supported through every stage of life.
Senior pet care focuses on the health concerns most common in older animals, including arthritis, dental disease, organ function changes, and cognitive decline. Because pets tend to hide discomfort, more frequent monitoring becomes especially important as they age.
Most dogs and cats are considered seniors around seven years old, though this can vary by breed and size. Animal Health Care Center's team tailors senior care plans to your pet's individual health history and needs.

Here's how our Madison team supports your pet's health in their senior years.
We perform a thorough physical exam, paying close attention to joints, weight, muscle condition, and mobility, along with screening for common age-related conditions.
Routine bloodwork and urinalysis help us monitor organ function, catch early signs of disease such as kidney or thyroid issues, and track changes over time.
Based on exam findings, we'll discuss nutrition, pain management, mobility support, and any adjustments needed to keep your senior pet comfortable at home.
