Why Senior Wellness Matters

Senior pets are more likely to develop chronic conditions such as arthritis, kidney disease, cognitive decline, and dental issues. Regular checkups, diagnostics, and proactive care can help catch issues early and manage them effectively — improving quality of life and extending your time together.

In many cases, subtle behavioral changes (such as slowing down or becoming less social) are the first signs of an underlying health issue. That’s why senior wellness visits are so important.

What’s Included in a Senior Wellness Visit?

Our in-home senior care visits are designed to be thorough, gentle, and tailored to your pet’s unique needs. Depending on your pet’s health and history, a senior wellness visit may include:

  • A comprehensive physical exam
  • Bloodwork and lab testing
  • Pain and mobility assessments
  • Nutritional consultations
  • Behavioral and cognitive health screenings
  • Medication review and adjustments
  • End-of-life planning when appropriate

Dr. Mahlberg takes the time to listen to your concerns, explain test results, and develop a care plan that fits both your pet’s needs and your lifestyle.
