Adult and Senior Pet Care

Pets age much faster than people do: dogs and cats age about five to seven years for every human year. This suggests health problems can progress five to seven times faster in your pet. The average dog or cat seven to 10 years of age and older qualifies as a "senior." There is a progressive decline in organ function, immunity, and physical and mental abilities as a pet ages. While some age-related diseases may not be preventable, early detection and intervention is the key to successful management.

Our hospital provides general farm animal care such as castration, hoof trims and dehorns, as well as seeing sick animals needing medical or surgical care. Our clinicians have experience with standard livestock such as cattle, sheep, goats, and production swine, as well as non-traditional farm animals such as potbellied/mini-pigs, llamas, alpacas, and exotic hoofstock.
