Senior Wellness
Compassionate Senior Pet Care in Columbus, Ohio
At Lifetime Pet Wellness Center, we believe that age is not a disease; it is a specialized stage of life that deserves increased attention, patience, and love. As your trusted Columbus veterinary clinic, our goal is to help your companion navigate their golden years with dignity and comfort. While seeing your pet slow down can be emotional, it is also an opportunity to deepen your bond by providing them with the support they need.
Senior pet care goes beyond standard check-ups. It requires a proactive approach to detect subtle changes before they become major health concerns. Animals are experts at masking pain and discomfort, often making it difficult for pet owners to distinguish between natural aging and treatable medical conditions. By partnering with our experienced team, you ensure your pet receives comprehensive Columbus veterinary care tailored to their evolving physical and cognitive needs.
Senior Wellness
As your best friend ages, their medical needs change, and regular pet senior wellness care becomes essential. They are also more susceptible to a variety of new diseases, including:
- Mammary and testicular cancer
- Cognitive difficulties
- Intestinal disorders
- Kidney and liver disease
- Joint and bone disease
- Diabetes
When animals become seniors, it gets more challenging to separate their natural aging process from potential emerging medical disorders—it’s crucial to consider these changes throughout their lives. Routine senior wellness visits are the best way to identify and treat problems early on.
At Lifetime Pet Wellness Center, we are committed to ensuring senior pets stay healthy and happy, especially since they need more attention and care. If you have an older pet and have any questions about proper wellness care reach out today!
An Integrative Approach to Aging
What sets Lifetime Pet Wellness apart as a leading Columbus holistic veterinarian is our ability to combine conventional medicine with powerful alternative therapies. We find this "best of both worlds" approach particularly effective for senior pets who may be struggling with chronic pain, arthritis, or mobility issues.
Instead of relying solely on medication to manage symptoms, we look at the whole picture. We offer several non-invasive modalities that can provide your older pet with a renewed sense of vitality:
Spinal Manipulative Therapy:
Also known as veterinary chiropractic, this treatment helps restore motion in stiff joints and improves neurological function. It is excellent for seniors having trouble standing up or navigating stairs.
Traditional Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture:
These time-tested therapies offer drug-free pain relief. Acupuncture boosts the body's natural healing abilities and releases endorphins, helping to manage chronic conditions like arthritis.
Laser Therapy:
By using specific wavelengths of light, we can reduce inflammation and pain at a cellular level. This is a relaxing, gentle, soothing treatment that many senior pets find enjoyable and do not have many issues with the process.
Regenerative Medicine:
For pets suffering from degenerative joint disease, we also offer advanced regenerative therapies that help repair damaged tissue and accelerate healing. This then works on improving their overall quality of life.
Comprehensive Diagnostics & Early Detection
