Geriatric Clinics

We are passionate about keeping older pets comfortable and as healthy as possible as they age.

Geriatric clinics cost £105 and include:

  • a full clinical examination

  • ocular examination

  • blood pressure monitoring

  • a urine screen

 

Additional blood and urine tests can also be discussed and performed if deemed beneficial (these are at additional cost).

Medications

Cats and dogs hide their pain well as they age.

There may only be small behavioural changes which can alert us to them being in discomfort.

Arthritic pain is complex, therefore we use multiple medications to help keep your aging pets comfortable.

Blood Test

Diagnostic tests

Older patients may have underlying health issues such as kidney or liver disease. It's important to monitor these when pets are on long term medication. We may recommend urine and blood samples which can be taken at home.

Exercise modification

Exercise is still very important in pets with arthritis but we need to be mindful of what kind of exercise and the duration. We can also recommend changes in the house which will aid mobility.
