We provide compassionate, expert care to support both pets and their owners through every stage of aging.

Why Choose Amity for Senior Pet Care?

Tailored Senior Wellness Plans

We offer customized health screenings and preventive care programs designed specifically for senior pets. Regular check-ups can help detect age-related conditions early, ensuring prompt treatment and an improved quality of life.

In-House Diagnostics & Advanced Care

Our clinic is fully equipped with on-site bloodwork, imaging (ultrasound & X-ray), urinalysis, and specialized screenings to monitor organ function, mobility issues, and chronic disease management.

Home Visit & Telemedicine Services

For pets who struggle with mobility or stress from travel, our veterinary home visits provide expert care in the comfort of their own home. Additionally, we offer telemedicine consultations, allowing pet owners to discuss concerns and receive professional guidance without needing to visit the clinic.

Pain Management & Mobility Support

Aging pets often experience arthritis, joint pain, and mobility challenges. Our approach includes:

  • Physical therapy recommendations & environmental modifications to improve comfort and maintain an active, fulfilling life.
  • Nutraceuticals & joint supplements
  • Prescription pain relief options (NSAIDs, opioids when needed)

Senior Pet Loyalty Program

We appreciate your trust in us. Our Senior Pet Loyalty Program provides exclusive benefits, including discounted senior wellness screenings, special offers on medications, and a 15% discount on both home visit bookings and telemedicine consultations to ensure that senior pets receive the care they need with added convenience.

Palliative & End-of-Life Care

We understand how difficult it is to make decisions about quality of life. Our team provides compassionate support, pain management, and peaceful end-of-life care options, including home-based services for euthanasia when needed. Our goal is to ensure comfort and dignity in every stage of aging, treating your beloved companion as we would our own pets.

Dogs and cats are generally considered seniors around 8 years old, in line with the insurance industry. However, larger dog breeds tend to age faster and may need senior care earlier.

Aging pets may develop conditions such as:

  • Arthritis & joint pain
