Seeing our pets grow old can be sad and can affect us emotionally. Seeing our pets grow old can be sad and can affect us emotionally. Improving the physical and mental welfare of our older pets by making as many adaptations as we can, will not only help our pets, but can also improve the owner’s enjoyment during their pet’s final years.
As our pets get older, they can develop health problems including arthritis (inflammation of the joints), dental disease, heart disease, kidney disease and cancer.
Throughout the month of June, we are offering a ‘Geriatric Profile’ for cats over 9 years of age and dogs over 7 years of age. The ‘Geriatric Profile’ includes a full blood screen testing, which includes looking at liver and kidney markers, ruling out diabetes, haematology (red and white blood cells), and thyroid monitoring. We will also be testing your pet’s urine and blood pressure and doing a full clinical history and examination with one of our vets.
The cost for this ‘Geriatric Profile’ is normally £234.17, but we are offering this for £150, which is a saving of £84.17.
Diagnosing a problem or disease early can mean that early medical management and treatment can be implemented, which will generally mean a better outcome for our senior pets.
If you would like to book in your pet for this promotional offer, please call us on 01665 252 250. See our promotions page for more details: ‘Geriatric Pet Profile Offer for June’.
We are also holding a ‘Geriatric Evening Talk’ at the practice on Thursday, 19th June. We will be discussing the anatomy changes, simple home changes that can help your older pets, medication, and physiotherapy options. If you want to attend this talk, just come into the practice or call us on 01665 252 250 to find out more and book your place.
If you would like to read more about the most common conditions found in geriatric pets, visit our news archives section for a range of articles and case studies regarding arthritis, dental disease, and heart disease.
If this article has raised any concerns, or you require further advice for your pet, please call us at Coquet Vets on 01665 252250.
