Senior Pet Care
The aging process applies to animals and people in the same way: Associated changes naturally occur in behavior, anatomy and physiology. Your Hillside veterinary team will pay careful attention to the older pet's orthopedic status, cardiovascular system and ophthalmic condition. Your Hillside veterinarian will discuss with you the normal developmental processes of your aging pet and any diagnosed deviations from what is considered within normal limits. He or she may also recommend appropriate blood tests for the older adult and suggestions for the use of products that can be of benefit. |

Since each year for a dog or cat is the equivalent of 5-7 human years, it is important that your pets receive a wellness examination annually, at a minimum. By age 7, he or she is considered a senior member of the community, and more frequent exams are recommended. The accelerated aging of a pet resulting in a shorter life span for animals compared to humans means that a pet's health can change dramatically in a very short period of time.
