Senior Pet Care in Round Rock, TX
We offer personalized senior pet care in Round Rock, TX, to help aging dogs and cats stay comfortable, active, and happy well into their later years.
Compassionate Care for Aging Companions
Just like humans, pets require more attentive healthcare as they age. Our geriatric pet care services are designed to detect age-related changes early, manage chronic conditions, and promote a better quality of life for your senior pet. Whether your companion is starting to slow down or managing complex health needs, we’re here to help them thrive with experience, empathy, and proactive care.
What Is Senior Pet Care?
Geriatric care focuses on the wellness and comfort of pets generally 7 years and older, though this varies by species and breed. As pets age, they become more susceptible to issues like arthritis, dental disease, kidney dysfunction, vision loss, and cognitive decline.
At Vista Vet, we offer a comprehensive approach to geriatric care that includes:
- Bi-annual wellness exams
- Bloodwork and urinalysis
- Arthritis and mobility assessments
- Pain management and laser therapy options
- Nutritional counseling for senior-specific diets
- Dental care for aging teeth and gums
- Screening for heart, liver, kidney, and endocrine conditions
- Behavioral and cognitive health support
By identifying problems early, we can treat them more effectively and keep your pet feeling their best.
Why Senior Pet Wellness Is So Important
Aging is a natural process, but that doesn’t mean your pet has to suffer through it. Preventive and proactive geriatric pet care allows us to:
- Catch health issues before they become serious
- Manage chronic pain and mobility challenges
- Support cognitive function and mental sharpness
- Prevent weight gain or muscle loss through proper nutrition and exercise
- Improve quality of life and extend lifespan
Neglecting senior care can lead to unnecessary pain, reduced mobility, and lower energy—all of which diminish your pet’s enjoyment of life. Regular checkups and health screenings are key to helping your senior pet age gracefully.
What to Expect During a Senior Wellness Visit
We tailor every senior exam to your pet’s breed, lifestyle, and medical history. During these visits, we’ll:
- Perform a full physical exam, including eyes, ears, joints, and heart
- Review appetite, energy, behavior, and sleep patterns
- Recommend diagnostics like bloodwork, X-rays, or ultrasound (as needed)
- Discuss pain levels and mobility, especially in pets with arthritis
- Update any medications or supplements
- Create a wellness plan for the months ahead
We also take time to answer your questions and help you anticipate the changes that often come with aging—so you feel confident supporting your pet at home.
