Compassionate Senior Pet Care

Helping Your Pet Enjoy the Golden Years

As pets grow older, their needs shift—and at Community Animal Hospitals, we’re here to support them every step of the way. Whether your pet is slowing down or simply showing signs of aging, our team offers compassionate, proactive care to help them stay healthy, happy, and comfortable for years to come.

When Is a Pet Considered a Senior?

• Dogs: typically around 7 years old
• Cats: around 10 years old

However, age alone doesn’t tell the whole story. Our focus is on detecting age-related changes early—before they become serious health concerns.

Signs Your Pet May Be Aging

Keep an eye out for:

• Stiffness or limping
• Changes in weight
• Cloudy eyes or hearing loss
• Behavioral changes like confusion or anxiety
• Increased thirst or urination
• Bad breath or dental issues

If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to schedule a senior wellness exam.
