Senior Dog & Cat Care in Mountain Green

Aging Pets Deserve Proactive Care

Senior pets rarely announce their problems. Many conditions progress silently, and dental disease, heart murmurs, lumps, arthritis, and metabolic disorders can take hold long before anything looks wrong at home. Regular exams exist to catch these issues early, while they are easier to treat.

That is the case for senior care in one sentence: preventive medicine means pets live longer, healthier lives with fewer emergency visits. Senior pets often need more frequent visits than younger adults because their risks and needs change faster.

Changes worth an exam rather than a wait:

• Lethargy or decreased activity
• Unexplained weight loss or gain
• Changes in appetite or thirst
• Limping or stiffness, especially after rest
• New lumps, bumps, or skin changes
• Persistent coughing or breathing trouble

If any of these sound like your older dog or cat, book a visit. A clear answer beats weeks of wondering.

Senior Care, All Under One Roof

Dr. Sorensen and Dr. Poll care for aging dogs and cats with the advantage of in-house diagnostic technology that delivers fast, accurate results, right here in Mountain Green.

• Comprehensive physical exams: a full assessment from nose to tail. Eyes, ears, mouth, teeth, heart, lungs, abdomen, joints, skin, and coat are individually checked to catch early warning signs of disease. Learn more about our exams.
• In-house diagnostic laboratory: bloodwork, urinalysis, and screening panels, with many common tests processed on-site and results often available the same day. Seniors and pets with ongoing conditions often benefit from testing every 6-12 months. Our comprehensive in-house blood panel is $165. Explore our lab services.
• Digital X-rays: high-resolution imaging that helps track age-related changes and manage chronic issues before symptoms worsen. A multiple-view digital X-ray study is $195. See how imaging works.
• Dental attention at every exam: the mouth and teeth are checked as part of the nose-to-tail assessment, and when dental disease turns up, your vet walks you through the recommended next steps. Learn about our dental care.
• K-Laser therapy: regular sessions may help improve mobility and reduce stiffness in pets with arthritis or degenerative joint problems. Many owners report easier walks, play, and daily activity. Read about K-Laser therapy.

Every Pet Ages Differently

There is no universal birthday when a dog or cat becomes a senior. Breed, lifestyle, and medical history all shape what your pet needs and when, so care here is tailored to your pet rather than run from a checklist.

A senior visit starts with listening. We review your pet’s medical history, daily routines, nutrition, and any changes you have noticed, then perform a detailed hands-on examination. Diagnostics are recommended based on your pet’s age and risk factors. You leave with a clear understanding of your pet’s health, a tailored care plan, and plenty of opportunity to ask questions.
