Comprehensive Veterinary CarePet Geriatric Care in Ann Arbor MI
As pets age, their healthcare needs change. At Arbor Hills Animal Clinic, we provide pet geriatric care in Ann Arbor, MI, helping senior pets stay comfortable, active, and healthy in their golden years.
Why Is Senior Pet Care Important?
Older pets are at greater risk for a range of health challenges, including arthritis, organ dysfunction, dental disease, and cognitive decline. These changes can be subtle at first, but regular wellness visits allow us to catch problems early and respond before they become more serious.
Proactive senior care helps us:
- Detect age-related diseases while treatment is still most effective
- Manage chronic pain and arthritis, so pets can stay active and mobile
- Support healthy weight and nutrition, adjusting diets for metabolism and digestion changes
- Monitor for cognitive dysfunction, which can affect memory, sleep, and behavior
Your pet may not be able to tell you when something’s wrong, but with regular check-ups, we can listen to what their body is saying and guide you in making thoughtful choices for their care.
Senior Pet Wellness Services
We offer comprehensive care plans that address both physical and mental changes associated with aging. Our services for senior pets include:
- Geriatric wellness exams that assess joints, organ function, dental health, and more
- Bloodwork and diagnostic screenings to monitor for early signs of kidney disease, diabetes, and thyroid issues
- Arthritis and pain management, including medications, supplements, and laser therapy
- Nutritional counseling to ensure your pet gets the right diet and exercise as they age
Our goal is to help your pet stay as vibrant and comfortable as possible throughout every stage of their senior years.
