Laurel Veterinary Clinic provides customized senior wellness veterinary care to dogs and cats in Broomfield, CO, to optimize their health. We consider pets over the age of seven years old to be senior-aged. Pets at this life stage become more susceptible to contracting health issues, making routine veterinary visits, early disease detection, and screenings more important in preventing diseases and providing comfort.

Veterinary Care for Senior Pets
Because pets age more quickly than humans, we recommend more frequent veterinary visits at what we may consider a younger age. We recommend senior-aged pets to visit a veterinarian for a comprehensive wellness exam and screenings at least twice a year. Frequent routine visits allow the veterinarian to detect and treat health issues as early as possible. Common health issues seen in older pets include:
- Diabetes
- Arthritis
- Heart disease
- Liver disease
- Certain types of cancer
Routine visits to Laurel Veterinary Clinic allow our veterinary team to stay on top of your senior pet’s wellness and optimize their health.
