​Dogs and Aging

​As with all of us, your dog’s body takes some wear and tear over the years. He or she becomes more subject to age related complaints, and has different health requirements.

​A number of health issues such as dental disease, arthritis, diabetes, heart disease and kidney disease may start sneaking up as your dog’s age increases. When detected early, many of these conditions can be successfully managed to make your dog more content and comfortable.

​If your senior dog is experiencing one or more of the signs on this checklist, be sure to bring it to our attention today.

Use this checklist as a reminder in your dog’s appointment, and to monitor your dog between appointments.
​Discuss any changes in your pet with your veterinarian as soon as you notice them. The symptoms in the checklist below may indicate many age-related conditions. Early treatment such as diet changes, stimulation and enrichment activities or medications can improve your dog’s symptoms or even delay progression of the condition.

    Senior Dog Wellness Checklist ​

    ​Have you noticed any changes in your dog’s behaviour?

    ​​As dogs age, they can develop signs of brain aging, referred to cognitive dysfunction. This group of questions can help identify early signs of this cognitive decline, so that it can be better managed.

    Have you noticed any physical changes in your dog?

    ​The symptoms listed below can indicate the onset of a number of age-related illnesses.
    For Your Pet's Appointment, Please:
    • DO NOT FEED BREAKFAST (we will feed as soon as possible after your pet's diagnostics are complete).
    • DO allow your pet water overnight.
    • DO give your pet their regularly scheduled medications (in a small treat).
    • ​DO collect your pet's first morning
