Making the Golden Years Golden

Senior Pet Care at Kryder Veterinary Clinic Our clients are the best resource we have for knowing if an older pet is battling an age-related health issue. We help you monitor whether your pet is slowing down, and we’ll work with you to make sure your animal’s diet and exercise are appropriate for his or her stage of life.

Senior Pet Care Considerations

Many dogs are "people pleasers." They try to hide their pain. You are the best person to recognize the painful signs of osteoarthritis in your dog. We have developed the Kryder Comfort Crew to help you understand your senior pet’s health status.

Ask yourself if you have noticed any of the subtle signs in your pet:

Reluctance to climb stairs
Difficulty jumping
Stiffness after exercise
Difficulty rising

The Comfort Crew wants to work with you to develop a treatment program designed to help your dog enjoy a more active and comfortable life. The program focuses on modifying your dog’s home environment, incorporating controlled exercises, managing weight, using nutraceuticals, and managing pain.
