Caring for your older companion

Senior Pet Care

Older pets deserve extra attention and care. Our senior wellness programme is designed to keep your companion comfortable and happy in their golden years.

As pets age, they become more susceptible to a range of health conditions including arthritis, kidney disease, heart disease, dental disease, diabetes, and cancer. Many of these conditions are manageable — or even preventable — when caught early.

Our senior wellness programme includes bi-annual check-ups (every 6 months), comprehensive blood panels, urine testing, blood pressure monitoring, arthritis assessment, and dental checks. We'll work with you to create a personalised care plan for your older pet.
