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

Because senior pets are more susceptible to systemic illnesses—such as kidney disease, liver dysfunction, and diabetes—more frequent and in-depth screening is vital. Our Wellness & Preventive Care exams for seniors often include comprehensive blood work profiles, urinalysis, and blood pressure monitoring.

We also offer cutting-edge diagnostic tools like Digital Thermal Imaging. This non-invasive technology allows us to visualize heat maps of your pet’s body, identifying areas of inflammation or pain that may not be visible on a standard X-ray. By catching these issues early, we can intervene sooner, often leading to better outcomes and a longer, happier life for your companion.

Nutrition and Dental Health for Seniors

As metabolism slows and activity levels decrease, your pet’s nutritional requirements change. Maintaining a healthy weight is crucial for seniors, as obesity puts unnecessary stress on aging joints and internal organs. Our team offers specialized Dietary Consults to help you find the perfect balance of nutrients, whether that involves a fresh food diet, specific supplements, or a prescription formula.

Oral health is another critical pillar of senior pet care. Dental disease is not just about bad breath; bacteria from infected gums can enter the bloodstream and damage the heart, liver, and kidneys. Our compassionate Dental Care services ensure your pet’s mouth remains pain-free and healthy, protecting their overall systemic well-being.
