Senior Care and Chronic Disease Management Tailored to Your Pet’s Needs

The following are some services we offer for our senior patients and those with chronic health concerns:

Wellness Check-Ups: Senior pets or those with chronic diseases require twice-yearly visits for close monitoring and to address any concerns as they develop. During these appointments, we assess your pet’s weight, conduct a thorough head-to-tail examination, evaluate changes in behavior or mobility, and discuss any concerns you may have. We may also recommend diagnostic blood tests and labs to rule out underlying health conditions.

Nutritional Counseling: Proper nutrition is critical for senior pets or those with chronic health concerns. We offer nutritional counseling to help determine the ideal diet for your furry companion. From joint health to managing weight or chronic disease support, we provide personalized dietary recommendations for optimal health. We’re happy to offer an online pharmacy where you can have prescription and specialty diets delivered right to your doorstep.

Weight Management: Obesity is one of the most prevalent chronic illnesses in dogs and cats, especially those in their golden years. Pet obesity can increase the risk of serious health concerns, including diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney disease, arthritis, joint pain, and more. At Lost Dog Vet, we offer personalized weight management plans outlining ideal food types, portion control, and feeding schedules to help your furry companion achieve and maintain a healthy weight.

Joint Care: Arthritis, a degenerative condition common to senior pets, can lead to joint stiffness, pain, and decreased mobility. We may recommend joint supplements, pain relief medications, or physical therapy for your pet’s comfort and enhanced mobility. We also offer two breakthrough treatments: Solensia for cats and Librela for dogs. These FDA-approved monthly injections reduce joint pain and inflammation, allowing your furry companion to enjoy life’s simple pleasures once again.

Chronic Disease Management: Chronic conditions like kidney disease, diabetes, or heart disease require regular care and monitoring to ensure your pet lives the healthiest life possible. Our team will closely monitor your pet, prescribe medications, recommend dietary or lifestyle changes, and provide supportive care for optimal health. Our goal is to manage ongoing health conditions effectively, ensuring your furry companion enjoys a comfortable and fulfilling life.
