El Paso, Texas
As a devoted pet parent, you cherish the companionship and love your furry friends bring into your life. As the years go by, your beloved pets enter their golden years, requiring specialized care to maintain their health and vitality. At Golden Valley Animal Care, we offer tailored veterinary senior pet services to ensure your aging pet enjoys the best quality of life.
What Is Senior Pet Care?
As pets transition into their senior years, the risk of age-related health challenges increases. These may include arthritis, dental disease, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, kidney disease, and obesity. Our senior pet services at Golden Valley Animal Care focus on prevention, early intervention, and management of age-related health concerns to help your aging pet thrive.
The following are some of the geriatric services we offer for pets and their families in El Paso, TX, and the surrounding communities.
Preventive Care: Don't wait until your aging pet shows signs of slowing down! At Golden Valley Animal Care, we are proponents of early detection and intervention to keep your furry companion as healthy as possible. Regular wellness exams allow us to monitor your pet’s health, uncover any underlying issues early, and develop customized care plans to address specific needs. Our goal is to help your pet live the healthiest life possible.
Pain Management: Pain management is one of the most critical aspects of senior pet care. That's because aging pets often experience natural physical changes and are more prone to developing chronic health concerns. From anti-inflammatories and pain relief medications to injectables and supportive therapies, we provide personalized pain management solutions to enhance your pet's mobility, comfort, and well-being.
Nutritional Counseling: Obesity is often a concern of aging pets, increasing their risk of diabetes, heart disease, and so much more. Age-appropriate nutrition can help enhance mobility, longevity, and vitality. We are happy to offer nutritional recommendations to support your aging pet’s needs and help maintain a healthy weight. We also offer tailored nutritional counseling for senior dogs or cats requiring specific dietary accommodations due to chronic health concerns. Our goal is to enhance your pet’s health and quality of life.
Chronic Disease Management: While many age-related health concerns have no cure, our goal at Golden Valley Animal Care is to manage them through medication, lifestyle changes, nutrition, and supportive care. Our team will work with you to offer guidance and tailored care to help your pet maintain the best possible quality of life.
Hospice Care: There comes a time when pet parents may opt for hospice care, also known as palliative care, to keep pets with terminal conditions comfortable in their final stages of life. Our team is here to support you in any way we can. From pain management to supportive care, we will work alongside you to ensure your pet is as comfortable as possible by your side. When the time comes to put your beloved pet to rest, we will guide you through the process and ensure your treasured companion has a dignified and peaceful transition. We are here to support you and your pet every step of the way.

Did you know?
Unlike a simple age limit, being considered geriatric for dogs can depend on size! Smaller breeds of dogs tend to age slower than their larger counterparts, meaning a Chihuahua might be regarded as a senior at ten years old, while a Great Dane might hit that mark as early as six!
