For Happy, Healthy Golden Years
Senior Pet Care
As your pet ages, their health needs evolve. Just like humans, they may face new challenges, from joint pain to appetite or energy level changes. Our senior pet care focuses on staying ahead of these changes, so your pet stays healthy and happy through their golden years.
At Wheaton Way Veterinary Hospital, we understand the special bond you share with your pet, and we’re here to help you navigate this stage of life with expert care and personalized attention.
