Senior Pet Wellness Exams
As pets age, they require more attentive care and frequent wellness exams. At Everett Veterinary Hospital, our senior pet wellness exams are designed to detect early signs of common age-related diseases such as diabetes and kidney disease. Each exam includes a thorough physical exam from nose to tail, as well as diagnostic tests to monitor vital organ function and detect underlying health issues. In addition to your senior pet’s physical health, your veterinarian will also ask you about their habits and environment at home, including changes to their eating patterns or sudden weight loss. Understanding these aspects helps us develop preventative strategies and treatments to prolong and improve the quality of your senior pet’s life.
Regular exams for senior pets not only help in early disease detection but also in managing any ongoing health problems so that your pet remains comfortable during their golden years. Our team is here to make any senior pet wellness exam go as smoothly as possible, providing a calm and soothing environment for your pet. We always take the time to get to know our patients and their owners.

Managing Illness in Senior Pets
As pets enter their senior years, they may face an increase in health-related issues that require sophisticated senior pet care and sometimes palliative interventions to manage pain and provide comfort. Our compassionate veterinarians at Everett Veterinary Hospital are experienced in diagnosing and managing chronic illnesses in senior pets, offering solutions that include medication, diet adjustments, and innovative therapy options.
When a cure is not possible, our focus shifts to senior pet hospice care, where the goal is to reduce pain and enhance quality of life. We provide supportive palliative care tailored to the needs of each pet, which may include pain management, nutritional support, and other comfort-focused treatments. We are dedicated to working closely with pet owners to decide the best course of action during these challenging times.
Compassionate Care for Older Pets
Regular veterinary care becomes more important than ever as pets age, especially if you notice changes in your senior pet’s health or behavior. Contact Everett Veterinary Hospital today to schedule a visit for your senior pet! Same-day appointments are often available. Together, we can make sure your companion spends their golden years in comfort.
