Geriatric Pet Care

Just like people, pets’ needs change as they get older. At Main Street Veterinary Hospital, we provide thoughtful, attentive senior pet care focused on keeping aging dogs and cats comfortable, active, and supported through every stage of life.

Most pets are considered seniors between 7 and 10 years of age. As they age, changes in energy, mobility, or behavior can be expected, but some changes may also signal underlying health concerns. Regular wellness exams at the hospital allow our veterinarians to monitor these changes closely and address issues early.

We recommend scheduling an exam if you notice any of the following:

• Changes in appetite or weight

• Increased thirst or urination

• Difficulty standing, walking, or using stairs

• Accidents in the house

• Confusion, anxiety, or changes in sleep patterns

• Coughing, new lumps, or other unexplained symptoms
  
  

During senior visits, we may recommend labwork, diagnostics, or lifestyle adjustments to better understand your pet’s health and create a plan that fits their needs.

At Main Street Veterinary Hospital, our goal is to support your pet’s comfort, quality of life, and overall well-being as they age, while providing clear guidance and compassionate care for you every step of the way
