Senior Pet Care

Advances in veterinary medicine have made it possible for companion animals to enjoy much longer, happier, and healthier lives. As pets get older, however, their needs change and they often require extra attention and additional medical care. The senior pet care services at Britannia Animal Hospital are designed to address the specific needs of animals who have reached their golden years.

Generally speaking, a cat is considered to be a senior by the age of 11 and a dog by the age of 7. At this point in their lives, it’s essential that they receive regular physical exams and routine diagnostic testing. This enables us to identify any potential age-related issues so we can address them in the most timely and effective manner. 

Some conditions that commonly affect senior animals include:

  • Arthritis 
  • Obesity 
  • Diabetes 
  • Dementia
  • Thyroid imbalances
  • Behavioral changes 
  • Mobility issues
  • Kidney, heart, and liver disease
  • Tumors and cancer 

Fortunately, many age-related health problems can be prevented and/or easily managed. The team at Britannia Animal Hospital is ready to partner with you in helping your seasoned pet enjoy a truly amazing life. Contact us today to schedule a senior exam and health evaluation today.

My parents have been using Britannia Animal Hospital for roughly 10+ years because they were the only ones specializing in exotic birds back then. Dr John Valsamis is amazing with our birds and dog. Dr. Heather White only handles my cats and she is/handles them with such care and does not mind being as many questions. Both Dr John Valsamis and Dr. Heather White are the definition of perfection when it comes to a veterinarian.

Very kind vets worked on helping my hamster Gus. I was a nervous wreck because i was a worried momma but they were so kind to my boy. So thankful for their efforts and help for him.

Just moved to Milton from Oshawa, I have an almost two year old hamster(Remy) who had a trauma in August last year causing his top front teeth to fall out. I've had to take him for teeth trims before, but I'm not traveling four hours in total to my vet in Bowmanville, but Britannia Animal Hospital came in clutch with helping me out. I called and spoke with Gloria who's is an absolute GEM and immediately got an appointment, Remy and I saw Dr Wong and she was very quick, informative and efficient. I'm very happy with my experience with you guys and I will definitely be back!! It's hard to find people who specialize in pocket pets. And if anything happens to my bearded dragon, you're the first place I'm calling!!
