How to Know When Your Senior Pet Needs to See a Vet

As our pets age, they need extra care and attention to ensure their golden years are comfortable. Here are some signs that it’s time to schedule a vet visit for your senior pet:

🐾 Behavioural Changes: Sudden withdrawal, anxiety or aggression may indicate pain or discomfort.

🐾 Changes in Appetite or Weight: Noticeable weight gain/loss or refusing food is a red flag.

🐾 Difficulty Moving: Stiffness, limping or reluctance to jump could mean joint issues.

🐾 Increased Thirst or Urination: These can be symptoms of diabetes or kidney problems.

🐾 Lumps or Bumps: New or changing growths should be checked by your vet.

A routine check-up can catch early issues, helping your senior pet enjoy their later years in good health. 🐶🐱❤️
