As pets get older they can require a little extra help to stay comfortable – which is why generally we recommend 6-monthly check ups for senior pets 🐶🐾

These visits help us keep a close eye on things like:
- Mobility – how their joints are moving and if they’re getting stiff
- Dental health - sore teeth and tartar are easy to miss at home
- Routine blood and urine tests – to pick up age-related diseases early, often before symptoms show

Regular senior health checks help us catch problems earlier and keep your pet comfortable, active and feeling their best for longer.

If your senior pet hasn’t had a check up in a while, it might be time to book them in 💕

Not all pain is obvious, in-fact our furry friends are far too good at hiding it! If your pet has stinky breath, extra drool, or favors one side while chewing, they may be suffering from a tooth ache.
🦷 If you notice any of these signs, or just want a dental check over, book an appointment with us 😇
