Compassionate Care for Senior Pets in Albany, NY

At Sand Creek Animal Hospital, we specialize in providing comprehensive senior pet care for aging dogs and cats in Albany, NY. Our experienced veterinarians understand the unique needs of senior pets and are committed to ensuring each patient’s individual health and well-being.

When Are Pets Considered “Seniors”?

Animals age far more quickly than humans, and dogs and cats are typically considered seniors at age 7. At this point, regular ongoing care becomes more important than ever, as your companion’s needs will likely begin to change rapidly. While many senior pets face more complicated health requirements, the skilled veterinary team at Sand Creek Animal Hospital is here to diagnose and treat their needs early, before they can become severe.

Senior Pet Wellness Exams

Regular wellness exams are essential for senior pets to monitor their overall health and detect early signs of age-related issues such as arthritis, dental disease, and more. Because senior pets’ conditions can change quickly, we recommend bringing your older pets in for an exam at least twice a year, along with annual wellness bloodwork.

Personalized Nutrition Counseling

We offer tailored nutrition plans to meet the specific dietary needs of senior pets, supporting their health, weight management, and vitality.

Pain Management

Effective pain management strategies help alleviate discomfort associated with arthritis and other conditions, improving mobility and quality of life for senior pets.

Dental Care

Comprehensive dental services, including cleanings and exams, are crucial for maintaining oral health and preventing dental issues that can affect senior pets’ overall well-being.
