As our pets age, regular wellness care becomes even more important. Senior pets are experts at hiding discomfort, which is why routine monitoring can help catch underlying issues early, often before obvious symptoms appear.

🤍 Bloodwork Monitoring
Routine lab work can help detect changes in kidney function, liver health, thyroid levels, diabetes, and more, allowing us to address concerns sooner.
** Also now offering screening for Canine Lymphoma

🤍 Arthritis Follow-Ups & Pain Management
Stiffness, slowing down, difficulty jumping, or trouble getting up can all be signs of arthritis. Regular follow-ups help us keep your pet comfortable and maintain mobility.

🤍 Monitoring Lumps & Bumps
Not every lump is serious, but changes in size, shape, or appearance should always be checked. Routine exams help us monitor skin masses and address concerns early.

🤍 Seizure Monitoring
If your senior pet has seizures or new neurologic changes, keeping track of frequency, duration, and symptoms can be an important part of managing their health and comfort.

Our goal is to help your senior companions stay happy, healthy, and comfortable through every stage of life. If you have questions about your pet’s senior care needs, we’re here to help. You can call or text 541-926-0291 to schedule or ask questions about your senior companions. 🐾🤍

Easter is almost here! 🌷🍫

As we get ready for egg hunts, baskets, and family celebrations, here’s a quick pet safety reminder:

⚠️Lilies are extremely toxic to cats. Even small exposures (pollen, leaves, or water from the vase) can cause severe kidney failure. If you have cats at home, it’s safest to avoid bringing lilies inside.

🍫 Chocolate is also dangerous for pets, especially dogs. Be sure to keep Easter candy and baskets stored safely out of reach.
