Senior Pet Health Checks

Wild cats live up to 8 years with an average lifespan of 5 years. Stray dogs live up to 10 years with an average lifespan of 8 years. Our loved pets live much longer, but in their advanced years may suffer from age-related conditions. In many cases we can treat these problems to make these “old” years “happy” years and keep them younger, longer! The sooner problems are diagnosed, the sooner treatment is started and the more we can help!

 

As pets age, they can become prone to developing certain types of diseases:

Regular checkups with your veterinarian will help detect any health problems early

The earlier these problems are identified the more can be done to help.
This is where Cambridge Vets can help.
We can provide a more pro-active approach to senior animal care through an individualised wellness programme for your pet.

Remember, pets age about 7 times faster than humans, so a trip to the vet once a year for your pet is like a trip to the doctors every 7 years for us.

Providing optimal care for Senior Pets:

  • Intervention will be of more benefit if instituted early
  • Promotes early detection of abnormalities (even in the apparently normal pet)
  • Promotes individualised medical care to enhance quality & length of life
  • Acknowledges & enhances the human-animal bond

🐾 Important Pet Parent ! 🐾
Vaccinations are not just an option; they're a crucial part of keeping our furry friends safe and healthy. One of the most serious threats out there is the parvovirus, a highly contagious and potentially deadly disease that primarily affects puppies and unvaccinated dogs. This virus attacks the gastrointestinal system, causing severe vomiting, diarrhea, and dehydration, which can be fatal if not treated promptly. By ensuring your dog is up-to-date on their vaccinations, you're not only protecting them but also helping to prevent the spread of this dangerous virus in our community. Let’s all do our part to keep our beloved pets safe and healthy! 🐶❤️ #VaccinateYourPets #ParvoAwareness #HealthyPetsHappyOwners
