Like us, aging pets can develop diseases which are related to their age. What aging means is depending on the breed. But at around 8 to 9 years of age, your pet is starting to become a senior. The most common problems are orthopedic. E.g. your dog or cat can show different kinds of lameness which often is most visible when he or she is getting up after a sleep. They do need their time to walk without any signs of irritations. Or if your pet has problems to climb stairs. If you do see these signs please do not hesitate to contact us. We can see what is going on and with the right treatment and tips we can try to improve the condition.

Often obvious are age related internal problems which are frequent in our pets. Cats have an increased risk of chronic kidney disease while dogs more often develop heart problems and hormonal imbalances. These changes can only be detected by regular blood analysis. The earlier we discover them the earlier we can give your pet the necessary support – in order to give your pet an enjoyable and happy last phase of its life.
