Pets offer companionship and unconditional love, but they require extra care as they age. At Miami Shores Animal Clinic, we have been providing reliable senior pet care to Miami, FL residents for many years. Here’s an overview of the senior pet care services we offer:

-Regular Check-Ups: As pets age, they need more frequent check-ups. Our veterinarian can help you develop a customized care plan for your senior pet.

-Proper Diet and Nutrition: Aging pets have changing nutritional needs. Work with our veterinarian to choose the best food for your pet to ensure they receive the necessary nutrients.

-Exercise: Regular exercise is crucial for senior pets to maintain a healthy weight, improve joint health, and boost immunity.

-Mental Stimulation: Senior pets need mental stimulation to stay happy and healthy. Provide toys and puzzles that challenge them mentally.

-Proper Dental Care: Good dental care is vital for senior pets to prevent pain, infections, and other issues. Brush your pet’s teeth regularly and schedule check-ups and cleanings with our veterinarian.

-Home Care: Senior pets may need special accommodations at home, such as ramps or stairs, to help them move around safely.

-Monitoring Health: Be alert for signs of illness, including changes in appetite, weight loss, lethargy, and altered bathroom habits. Schedule a vet appointment if you notice any of these signs.

-Medications and Supplements: Senior pets may require medications or supplements to maintain good health. Consult with our veterinarian to find the best options for your pet.

-End-of-Life Care: When the time comes, you’ll need to make decisions about end-of-life care, including whether to euthanize your pet or let them pass naturally, and make arrangements for their final resting place.
