Our Services at Amity Vet for Senior Pets

Tailored Senior Wellness Plans

Customizing health plans for senior pets is important as no two aging pets are the same — each has unique needs based on their breed, lifestyle and medical history. A personalized approach ensures effective monitoring, earlier intervention and targeted care that supports better health outcomes as your pet ages.

That is why we offer customized health screenings and preventive care programs designed specifically for senior pets. Wellness plans include comprehensive physical exams, bloodwork, urinalysis, dental checks, and nutritional consultations.

Regular check-ups can help detect age-related conditions such as kidney disease, heart issues, arthritis, or early signs of cancer. Catching these conditions early helps ensure prompt treatment and an improved quality of life.

Our senior wellness plans are always evolving to incorporate the latest in veterinary science, as we believe your aging companion deserves only the best in senior pet care.

Home Visit & Telemedicine Services for Your Aging Pets

Some senior pets struggle with anxiety, arthritis, reduced mobility, or stress from travel, making clinic visits challenging. That is why we offer veterinary home visits, providing expert care in the comfort of your own home. Our home visits are designed to reduce stress and make healthcare more accessible for senior pets and convenient for their families.

 

Additionally, we offer telemedicine consultations. Pet owners can discuss concerns about their senior pets, receive professional guidance, prescriptions, or follow-up plans, without needing to visit the clinic. 

Pain Management & Mobility Support for Senior Pets

One of the most common issues of aging pets are arthritis, joint pain and mobility challenges. These conditions can significantly impact a pet’s ability to enjoy daily activities and maintain their independence. That’s why early recognition and proactive management are key to preserving their quality of life. Our approach includes:

 

  • Customized pain relief options
  • Nutraceuticals & joint supplements
  • Prescription medication (NSAIDs, opioids when needed)
  • Physical therapy recommendations
  • Environmental modifications to improve comfort and maintain an active,
  • fulfilling life (ramps, orthopedic bedding, non-slip flooring)

 

We use an integrated, multimodal approach to ensure that your senior pets remain active and comfortable for as long as possible.
