Specialised Ageing Pet Support

About the Service

As pets grow older, they often develop health challenges that require specialised care and attention. At Moy Veterinary Clinic, we offer comprehensive senior pet care services tailored to the unique needs of ageing animals. Our goal is to enhance their quality of life, ensuring they remain comfortable, happy, and active throughout their golden years.

From managing chronic conditions to adjusting diet and exercise routines, we focus on proactive care that supports longevity and well-being. Our veterinary team provides personalised care plans to address the evolving needs of senior pets, ensuring they receive the best support at every stage.

Why Does My Pet Need This Service?

Ageing pets require additional medical attention to prevent or manage common conditions associated with getting older. Early detection and intervention can improve outcomes, reduce discomfort, and help pets maintain their independence.

Key benefits include:

  • Arthritis and Mobility Management: Pain relief, joint supplements, and therapy recommendations to improve movement and comfort.
  • Age-Related Health Screenings: Early detection of conditions like kidney disease, diabetes, or heart issues.
  • Customised Nutrition Plans: Specialised diets to support digestion, weight management, and overall health.
  • Cognitive Health Support: Strategies to manage cognitive decline and maintain mental stimulation.
  • Comprehensive Dental Care: Regular dental check-ups and treatments to prevent pain and infection.
  • End-of-Life Planning and Comfort Care: Palliative support for pets in their final stages, ensuring dignity and quality of life.

By focusing on these key areas, we help senior pets enjoy a fulfilling and comfortable life while providing owners with the guidance and support they need.

What to Expect During a Senior Pet Consultation

Our senior pet care services include a thorough health assessment and tailored recommendations to support their changing needs:

  • Comprehensive Health Evaluation: A full check-up to assess mobility, organ function, and cognitive health.
  • Personalised Treatment Plans: Tailored strategies for pain management, dietary adjustments, and preventative care.
  • Ongoing Monitoring and Support: Regular follow-ups to adapt care as your pet’s needs evolve.

We work closely with pet owners to ensure their senior companions receive the best possible care, helping them age gracefully and comfortably.
