Geriatric Care
Is your pet starting to slow down a bit? Maybe they’re not jumping up like they used to, sleeping more, or showing little changes that make you wonder what’s normal with age. Just like people, pets go through natural changes as they grow older — and the right care can make those golden years healthier, happier, and more comfortable.
At Waccamaw Regional Veterinary Center, we provide geriatric veterinary care for senior dogs and cats in Conway and Carolina Forest. Our goal is to help your companion stay active, supported, and feeling their best for as long as possible.
Understanding Senior Pet Needs
Aging pets are more likely to develop conditions that may not be obvious at first. Arthritis, dental disease, organ changes, and chronic illness can develop quietly, and many pets are good at hiding discomfort. Regular senior checkups allow us to monitor health closely and catch concerns early, when they’re easier to manage.
What Geriatric Care Includes
Each senior pet visit is tailored to your companion’s lifestyle and health history. Depending on your pet’s needs, geriatric care may include:
- ZThorough wellness exams
- ZRoutine lab work and screening tests
- ZNutrition and weight management guidance
- ZDental health monitoring
- ZPain management support
- ZMobility and comfort recommendations
- ZOngoing care for chronic conditions
We’ll take time to talk through any changes you’ve noticed at home and help you understand what they may mean.
Supporting Comfort and
Quality of Life
Aging doesn’t have to mean suffering. With consistent care, many senior pets stay comfortable and enjoy life well into their later years. We’re here to help you make informed decisions, adjust care as needs evolve, and focus on what matters most: your pet’s quality of life.
If your dog or cat is entering their senior years, we’d love to partner with you.
