Pet Geriatric Care in Centennial, CO
Regular monitoring and tailored care support their changing needs as they age.
Thoughtful, Proactive Care for Senior Pets
As pets age, their needs change—and they deserve veterinary care that adapts with them. At Festival Animal Clinic, we provide compassionate, proactive geriatric care for senior dogs and cats in Centennial, CO, focused on comfort, mobility, and quality of life. Our goal is to help aging pets stay comfortable, supported, and engaged for as long as possible through attentive medical care and individualized treatment plans.
Senior pet care isn’t just about managing illness—it’s about recognizing subtle changes early and helping families navigate the aging process with clarity and confidence.
What Is Pet Geriatric Care?
Pet geriatric care focuses on the unique health needs of senior pets, typically beginning around age 7 for dogs and cats (earlier for large-breed dogs). As pets grow older, they are more likely to develop chronic conditions that benefit from early detection, ongoing monitoring, and thoughtful adjustments to care.
Our veterinarians take a comprehensive, whole-pet approach to senior care, combining medical expertise with compassionate guidance tailored to your pet’s lifestyle and health history.
Comprehensive Senior Pet Services
Geriatric care at Festival Animal Clinic may include:
Senior Wellness Exams
More frequent wellness visits allow our team to monitor changes in weight, mobility, behavior, and overall health. These exams help us identify potential concerns early—when they’re often easier to manage.
Chronic Condition Management
Senior pets commonly experience conditions such as arthritis, kidney disease, heart disease, and endocrine disorders. We provide ongoing monitoring and treatment plans designed to maintain comfort and stability over time.
Pain Management & Mobility Support
Age-related discomfort can significantly impact a pet’s quality of life. Our team offers pain management strategies and supportive therapies to help senior pets move more comfortably and enjoy daily activities.
Diagnostic Monitoring
Routine bloodwork, urinalysis, and imaging may be recommended to track internal health and catch subtle changes before they become serious concerns.
Nutritional Guidance for Aging Pets
As metabolism and digestion change with age, nutritional needs evolve. We provide personalized dietary recommendations to support joint health, organ function, and overall vitality.
Why Geriatric Care Matters
Pets age more quickly than humans, and many age-related conditions develop gradually. Without regular monitoring, early warning signs can be easy to miss. Proactive geriatric care helps:
- Detect health changes earlier
- Manage chronic conditions more effectively
- Reduce discomfort and mobility issues
- Support mental and physical wellbeing
- Strengthen the human-animal bond through informed care

We also believe in clear communication, helping you understand what’s normal with aging, what may need attention, and how to support your pet at home.
