Newsletter September-2025
As our beloved pets grow older, their needs change, and proactive care becomes more important than ever. September is dedicated to celebrating senior pets and ensuring they enjoy their golden years with comfort, health, and happiness. Here are four essential ways to keep your aging companions thriving:
SCHEDULE REGULAR WELLNESS EXAMS
Senior pets benefit greatly from twice-yearly wellness check-ups. These exams allow veterinarians to catch early signs of age- related issues such as dental disease, vision problems, or heart conditions. Early detection means more treatment options and a better quality of life for your pet.
SUPPORT JOINT AND ARTHRITIS MANAGEMENT
Arthritis and joint stiffness are common in older pets, often causing discomfort that may go unnoticed. Simple adjustments like weight management, joint supplements, and specialized pain management plans can make a significant difference in mobility and happiness. Don’t wait until your pet slows down—be proactive in supporting their comfort.
SCREEN FOR COMMON SENIOR HEALTH CONCERNS
Conditions such as kidney disease, diabetes, and cancer can quietly develop in senior pets. Regular bloodwork, urinalysis, and other screenings help identify these issues early, when treatment is most effective. Staying ahead with preventive care ensures your furry friend gets the best chance for a long, healthy life.
IS YOUR SENIOR PET DUE FOR A WELLNESS EXAM?
This month, let’s show our senior pets the love and attention they truly deserve. By staying proactive with their health, we can help them enjoy more happy, comfortable years by our side. Every check-up, every preventive step, and every moment of care make a difference. Schedule your pet’s Senior Wellness Exam today with Veterinary Medical Center and give them the lifelong gift of good health and happiness.
TOPIC PRIORITIZE NUTRITION AND WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
As pets age, their metabolism slows, and their nutritional needs shift. Feeding them a diet specially formulated for senior pets can help maintain a healthy weight, support organ function, and improve energy levels. Proper nutrition, along with regular exercise, can significantly extend their years of vitality and joy.
