Geriatric Care in West Palm Beach

Senior pets deserve special attention. We provide gentle, proactive care to support aging pets with comfort and dignity.

Caring for Pets in Their Golden Years

As pets age, their needs change — and they deserve extra support to stay comfortable and healthy. At Healing Arts Veterinary Center in West Palm Beach, our geriatric care services are designed to help senior pets enjoy the highest possible quality of life in every stage of aging.

Supporting Aging Pets with Compassion and Expertise

Senior dogs and cats may not move as quickly or play as much, but with regular checkups and thoughtful care, they can continue to thrive. We work closely with you to monitor your pet’s health, manage chronic conditions, and catch age-related issues early.

Common concerns we address include:

  • Arthritis and mobility issues
  • Dental disease
  • Vision and hearing loss
  • Weight changes
  • Cognitive decline
  • Kidney or liver disease
  • Pain management
  • Nutritional needs for aging pets

What’s Included in Senior Pet Care

We typically recommend semiannual exams for senior pets, along with tailored diagnostics such as:

  • Comprehensive blood work
  • Urinalysis
  • Blood pressure checks
  • X-rays or ultrasound (as needed)
  • Pain assessments
  • Nutritional and medication reviews

These visits give us valuable insight into your pet’s health and help us adjust their care plan as they age.

Your Partner in Lifelong Wellness

Our goal is to help your senior pet stay active, pain-free, and connected to the family they love. Whether they’re slowing down or dealing with a medical condition, we’re here with the knowledge and compassion they need.
