Senior Pet Care

Pets age approximately 5-7 times faster than humans, making senior wellness care essential for keeping your beloved companion happy, healthy, and comfortable during their golden years. At Bellevue Animal Clinic, we emphasize the importance of routine check-ups and specialized care for pets over 7 years of age to help detect and manage age-related diseases early. Conditions like diabetes, cancer, kidney disease, arthritis, and Cushing’s disease are more common in older pets and require prompt attention for effective management.

Comprehensive Senior Wellness Exams

Older pets benefit from more detailed examinations and advanced testing. Our senior pet care services include:

• Thorough Physical Exam: To evaluate your pet’s overall health and identify potential concerns.
• Diagnostic Blood Work: To detect abnormalities in organ function, including the liver and kidneys.
• Urine Testing: To screen for urinary tract infections, diabetes, and kidney disease.
• Imaging Services: Radiographs (x-rays), ultrasounds, and electrocardiographs (ECG) are often recommended to assess internal organs, bones, and heart health.

Modern Testing and Treatments

Our team utilizes the latest advancements in veterinary medicine to provide the best possible care for your senior pet. New diagnostic tools and treatments are continually being developed, allowing us to tailor care plans to meet the unique needs of aging pets.
