Ginger is 14 and has kidney issues. Dr. Chen monitors her bloodwork every three months and always explains the numbers in a way that makes sense. She caught a change early last year that could have been serious. Ginger is still thriving because of this team.
Senior Pet Care
Helping your senior pet live their golden years with comfort, dignity, and the best possible quality of life.
Overview
About Senior Pet Care
Pets age faster than we do — a 7-year-old dog is roughly equivalent to a 50-year-old human. Senior pets need more frequent monitoring to catch age-related conditions like arthritis, kidney disease, diabetes, and cognitive decline.
Our senior wellness program includes bi-annual comprehensive exams, expanded bloodwork panels, blood pressure monitoring, and individualized pain and mobility management plans.
