Senior Pet Care

Did you know that pets age faster than people and can be considered "seniors" at around 7 years of age? Just as our health care needs change as we age, your pet's health care needs also change. Nutritional needs, exercise habits, and many aspects of your pet's daily routine can change as your pet ages. But how can you tell the difference between "normal" aging and a medical problem? As in humans, some health issues that affect older pets can begin with very subtle changes that may go unnoticed until the problem has become serious.

Regular wellness visits are important for every stage of your pet's life, so don't forget to keep your senior pet's scheduled wellness appointments. The best way to help protect your pet as he or she ages is to understand the aging process in pets. We understand that process and can help you help your pet. Even if your senior pet is already being treated for a medical condition, treatment recommendations can change as a condition progresses.

Appointments

Sometimes medication dosages need to be adjusted, or medication may need to be changed. Routine wellness blood work and other routine diagnostic testing are important for senior pets because these tests allow us to evaluate how your pet's health is either responding to current management strategies or changing with age.

We offer Wellness Plans for your dog or cat at low monthly payments!

More life. More love. More moments.

We have taken our pets to North Airline Animal Hospital for years, and they continue to earn our trust with their knowledge, honesty, and compassion. The DVMs and their support staff have always given our pets the best possible care and been more than willing to answer the multitude of questions we have. It’s easy to tell that they care about the pets AND the people worrying about them.

We love the staff at North Airline. They treat our dogs like they are family. We never worry about the care our dogs receive because it’s like they are caring for their own pets!!! We love this practice and will continue to recommend them to any pet owners in the area!

Great vets, especially Matt Honea, at NAAH. Staff is also friendly and very caring which is all the better. Been taking my fur babies there for many years with positive results. Had to do an end of life for my older very sick mini schnauzer nearly a year ago. It was a very sad event but Matt with his very caring demeanor helped us through it. Good pet care is well worth any price that you have to pay. They are very thorough and highly competent, I highly recommend North Airline Animal Hospital for your pet care.

• William

The best staff and Doctors. They explained everything very patiently and clearly. I drove over a hundred miles because my Equine Vet recommended you. I was not disappointed.
Thank you

• Nancy

This vet clinic is top notch! My dogs are comfortable with all doctors! The doctors also treat each pet as if it were their own.

• Jenny

We love seeing Dr. Honea and his staff when it comes to our fur babies. They treat our babies as if they were their own. Our babies are in the best care here without a doubt. We have seen many different vets in the past, but we will never go anywhere else now that we are here.

• Jessi

This is the only vet that we have ever had that Dash can’t wait to get into their front door! He absolutely loves boarding there which makes us feel absolutely wonderful about leaving him there when we have to go out of town! So happy to have found this wonderful staff to take care of our pets!

I highly recommend the North Airline Animal Hospital for your pets medical needs. They have been treating our pets for about 13 years. They are courteous, professional and will always put the needs of you and your pet first. I can’t say enough about Dr Brent Green. He’s treated our Border Collie, Jax, for many years now. Recently, Jax became ill and as a lot of big dogs his age, needed to be put down. Dr Brent, along with his staff, was so respectful, good and loving to Jax and made his last hours and passing very comfortable. He is a special person and I will always be grateful to him for that.
