Seeing your pet grow old is equivalent to seeing a family member age. As we grow older, regular health checks become increasingly important. This is also true for our pets. As they age, pets can experience the same aches, pains and health problems associated with aging in humans. Older dogs and cats are at higher risk for diabetes, arthritis, heart disease, kidney disease, cancer and other serious conditions.

Many of these health problems are treatable if diagnosed early but, unfortunately, many pets don’t see their veterinarian as often as they should. Taking your dog or cat to the vet once a year is the same as a person seeing their doctor or dentist once every seven years! You wouldn’t wait seven years to see your doctor for a check-up. So why wait a whole year to have your pet examined by their vet? The greatest percentage of disease occurs in the pet’s later years so regular health checks become increasingly important.

Many age-related health problems develop slowly and the changes may pass unnoticed, often until it’s too late. Regular Grey Paws health screening of senior pets at least every six months allows your vet to detect, treat or ideally prevent potentially serious health problems before they become life-threatening. The result is that owners and pets are given more quality years together.

Older pets have unique and changing medical and nutritional needs. Advances in medicine and nutrition provide a new approach to improving the lives of your senior pets. What you feed your senior pet is one of the most important components of good healthcare. It may mean the difference between a long and healthy life and one that is not.
