Senior Pet Care in Bogota, NJ

As pets age, they undergo gradual changes such as declining organ function, hormonal shifts, joint wear, and a higher risk of disease—often without obvious signs until conditions have progressed. Issues like heart disease, kidney problems, hyperthyroidism, and diabetes can remain hidden for months or even years. Our senior care program is designed to detect these conditions early, when they are most manageable.

Our approach to senior pet care is built on three key pillars:

• Nutrition — customized to support your pet’s weight, joint health, cognitive function, and overall organ wellness
• Arthritis & Joint Care — effective, safe solutions ranging from laser therapy to joint injections and anti-inflammatory treatments
• Oral Health — senior pets are more prone to dental disease, loose teeth, and oral discomfort, making routine dental care essential for their comfort and quality of life

• Physical exam — a comprehensive evaluation of all body systems to identify any abnormalities
• Blood chemistry panel — assesses organ function and helps detect conditions like diabetes, liver disease, and kidney issues
• Complete Blood Count (CBC) — screens for anemia, infection, and overall blood health
• Urinalysis — evaluates kidney function and identifies urinary tract infections
• Thyroid screening (T4) — especially important for senior cats, as hyperthyroidism is common
• Blood pressure measurement — monitors for hypertension, which can impact the kidneys, eyes, and heart
• Glaucoma testing — quick, painless eye pressure check to help prevent vision loss
• Retinal exam — examines the eye for signs of bleeding, degeneration, inflammation, or detachment
• Chest radiographs (X-rays) — used to evaluate heart and lung health as part of our longevity-focused care

Osteoarthritis is one of the most common yet often underdiagnosed conditions in senior dogs and cats. It can develop long before noticeable symptoms appear—meaning by the time your pet shows signs like limping, significant joint damage may already be present.

Our approach to arthritis care includes:

• Adequan injections — FDA-approved therapy that targets the underlying disease, not just the symptoms
• Librela (dogs) — a once-monthly monoclonal antibody injection designed to control osteoarthritis pain at its source
• Solensia (cats) — the first FDA-approved treatment specifically for managing osteoarthritis pain in cats
• Class IV Laser Therapy — a non-invasive, drug-free option that helps reduce inflammation and support healing
• JM therapeutic diet — specialized nutrition formulated to promote joint health and mobility
• Weight management — maintaining a healthy weight to reduce stress on joints and improve overall comfort
