Senior pet health program, Geelong

As our pets age, like us, they can develop health issues, many of which can be treated if picked up early. To keep your older pet healthy and comfortable, and to detect any illnesses before they have an impact on your pet’s well-being, Bellarine Veterinary Practice, Geelong, offers a senior pet health program.

Pets over seven years of age are eligible for the program which involves two visits each year, each including a full examination conducted by a veterinarian.

At your pet’s annual veterinary health check, you will have the opportunity to discuss preventative care and quality of life concerns with one of our veterinary nurses. After our vet nurse has performed any necessary screening tests, one of our veterinarians will administer any required vaccines or medications and address any medical concerns.

The second check about six months later involves one of our vet nurses performing blood pressure measurement, urinalysis and blood tests. The veterinarian will perform a full physical examination of your pet and will also talk to you about any issues or unexpected abnormalities detected on screening tests. Bellarine Veterinary Practice vets offer a disease monitoring program as well as having visiting specialists able to support any health problems your pet may have.

Geelong’s Bellarine Veterinary Practice Senior Pet Health Program is about ensuring quality care for your pet while at the same time giving you peace of mind. We are mindful of your pet’s wellbeing at all times and your circumstances. When the time comes, our vets can help you make a decision about euthanasia.

Book online or contact one of our six clinics to make an appointment with our vet nurses and veterinarians to discuss your senior pet’s health and how we can assist today.
