Aging Gracefully: Comprehensive Geriatric Care for Your Aging Pet
 
Just as with humans, aging may bring about some health issues for your animal companion. We encourage bi-annual exams for your senior pets, to detect any health concerns early, ensuring that your pet continues to relish their golden years.
 
We understand how daunting it can be when you begin to witness changes in behavior, mobility, and overall health issues. Know that we’re here to guide you and your pet through this journey with all the kindness and understanding you need. We’re also particularly aware of conditions like Canine Cognitive Decline (CCD), or “doggy dementia,” that can affect some dogs in their senior years. This condition may lead to symptoms like confusion, altered sleep patterns, and changes in interaction. We are dedicated to helping you navigate these transitions, providing the necessary tools and advice to manage CCD symptoms effectively and ensure your pet’s comfort throughout their senior years.
 
We invite you to explore our range of trusted resources, thoughtfully curated for the health and wellness of your furry companions. These guides and tools offer valuable insights into preventive care and practices that support your pet’s overall well-being. Remember, at Shiloh Veterinary Hospital, we’re your partners in pet care. Should you have any questions or concerns arise, please call us at (717) 767-0180. Together, let’s ensure the best possible care for your treasured pets.
