Compassionate Senior Pet Care Focused on Comfort and Quality of Life
Evergreen Veterinary Hospital provides compassionate senior pet care focused on recognizing changes early and helping pets stay comfortable, engaged, and happy through every stage of aging.
Our team partners with families to monitor trends, adapt treatment plans, and support mobility, comfort, and cognitive health over time.
Signs Your Pet May Benefit from Senior-Focused Care
If your pet is aging, even subtle changes are worth discussing.
Common signs of aging we see include:
- Slowing down or difficulty getting up
- Stiffness, limping, or reluctance to jump or climb
- Changes in appetite or weight
- Increased thirst or urination
- Behavior changes, confusion, or anxiety
- Decreased interest in activities they once enjoyed
These changes don’t always mean something serious, but they do deserve attention.
Arthritis, Mobility & Pain Management
Arthritis and chronic pain are common in senior pets, but they shouldn’t define your pet’s quality of life.
We offer a range of comfort-focused options, including:
- Individualized pain management plans
- Arthritis support and mobility guidance
- Injectable and oral pain therapies when appropriate
- Laser therapy to support comfort, healing, and inflammation reduction
- Lifestyle and environmental modifications
Our goal is to reduce discomfort while preserving mobility and independence whenever possible.

Proactive Monitoring & Wellness Screening
Senior care often includes proactive monitoring to respond to early changes.
Depending on your pet’s needs, this may include:
- Twice annual comprehensive physical exams
- Bloodwork screening and urinalysis
- Other, non-routine diagnostic testing
Early detection allows us to manage many age-related conditions more effectively—and often more comfortably.
Cognitive Health and Behavioral Changes
Aging doesn’t only affect the body, it can affect the mind.
Senior pets may experience:
- Disorientation or confusion
- Changes in sleep patterns
- Increased anxiety or restlessness
- Altered social interactions
We help families understand what’s normal, what’s not, and how to support pets experiencing cognitive or behavioral changes related to aging.
