Senior Pet Care in Advance, NC
Like humans, pets experience age-related health concerns such as arthritis, dental disease, heart conditions, and cognitive decline. Regular wellness checkups and early intervention can help manage these issues and improve your pet’s quality of life.
Essential Health Services for Senior Pets
Routine Wellness & Preventative Care
Senior pets require more frequent checkups to monitor for early signs of illness. We recommend biannual wellness exams that include:
- Comprehensive physical exams to track changes in mobility and weight
- Vaccinations & parasite prevention to support immune health
- Nutritional counseling for weight management and dietary needs
Senior Pet Diagnostics & Disease Detection
Older pets are more prone to kidney disease, diabetes, and heart conditions. Early detection is key! Our diagnostic services include:
- Bloodwork & urinalysis to monitor organ function
- Pet X-rays & ultrasounds to detect arthritis, tumors, or internal issues
- Blood pressure monitoring for heart and kidney health

Aging pets often suffer from joint pain and arthritis, affecting mobility and comfort. We offer:
