Keeping Your Senior Pet Healthy

Keeping Your Senior Pet Healthy With a Clinton Hill Veterinarian

Keeping a senior pet healthy can be a challenge. At Clinton Hill Animal Clinic, we help pet owners take care of their senior pets. Below are some of the most common tips we share with pet owners of older animals.

  • Take your pet to the vet for senior pet dental care. As your pet ages, his or her teeth and gums may start to deteriorate. Taking your pet in to the veterinarian in Clinton Hill for regular dental cleanings and examinations will help your pet maintain good oral hygiene.

  • Take your pet in for wellness exams every six months. Younger pets typically see the veterinarian once per year, but when pets get older, we recommend that they see the vet twice per year. This helps us catch diseases and illnesses in their early stages, so your pet can get treatment before a condition becomes serious.

  • Practice flea and tick prevention. Fleas and ticks spread diseases and can reduce your pet's quality of life. Talk to your pet's veterinarian about flea and tick prevention so you can help your older pet stay healthy.

  • Keep your pet up to date on shots. Pets need regular vaccinations to help them fight off common illnesses and deadly diseases. Take your pet in for regular booster shots to help him or her stay healthy.

  • Talk to your pet's veterinarian about geriatric pet care. At Clinton Hill Animal Clinic, we can give you advice and tips for keeping your senior pet healthy and comfortable. For helpful advice that will benefit your pet, ask your pet's veterinarian for senior pet care suggestions at your pet's next wellness exam or visit to the veterinarian.
