Senior pets are experts at hiding discomfort. Instead of vocalizing, they change their habits: hesitating before jumping, taking stairs one at a time, grooming less, or withdrawing from the family.
Watch for changes in appetite, sleep location, and willingness to be touched. If you notice any of these shifts, a comfort-focused exam can identify the cause — and modern pain management can often restore much of your pet’s quality of life.
If you’re unsure, we’re always happy to talk through what you’re seeing at home.
