Senior Pet Wellness
As pets age, their needs evolve — and so should their veterinary care. At Atwater Veterinary Center, we offer personalized senior pet wellness in Atwater, CA, to support aging dogs and cats with comfort, dignity, and proactive health management.
What Is Senior Pet Care?
Senior pet care is a specialized approach to veterinary medicine that focuses on maintaining your pet’s quality of life. As pets reach their senior years (typically around 7–8 years for dogs and cats), they become more susceptible to age-related issues, including arthritis, organ dysfunction, cognitive decline, dental disease, and metabolic conditions.
At Atwater Veterinary Center, we believe aging pets deserve thoughtful, individualized care. Our senior wellness program includes more frequent checkups (every 6 months is often recommended), targeted diagnostics, and a personalized health plan that evolves as your pet’s needs change.

Trusted Care for the Pets Who’ve Given You Everything
Our veterinary team takes the time to truly listen to your concerns and observe your pet’s behavior, movement, and daily habits. We’re not just treating symptoms — we’re supporting a lifelong relationship.
We also work hard to maintain continuity of care, so your senior pet is treated by familiar faces who know their history, personality, and preferences. It’s not just about medicine — it’s about trust, comfort, and honoring the years you’ve shared together.
