CARE FOR THE YEARS AHEAD
Help your senior pet stay comfortable, healthy, and connected to the life they love.
Aging brings change, but you don’t have to navigate it one problem at a time. With regular veterinary care and a team that gets to know your pet over time, we can help you make thoughtful decisions throughout their senior years.
A better way to care for your pet as they age.
Senior Care Plans provide ongoing veterinary care for older pets in the comfort of home, with regular exams, proactive health monitoring, and care that evolves as their needs change.

Explore the Plan
As pets age, changes in their health can happen gradually. A little more difficulty getting up, changes in appetite or weight, drinking more water, sleeping differently, or simply seeming “not quite themselves” can all be meaningful. Regular senior-focused veterinary care helps us identify these changes earlier, follow them over time, and make thoughtful recommendations to support your pet’s health, comfort, and quality of life.
And because we see your pet at home, we see more than we might in an exam room. We can observe how they move through their environment, where they sleep, how they navigate stairs and flooring, and the everyday details that can have a meaningful impact on an older pet.
Ongoing care
Care that keeps pace with your pet.
No two senior pets age in quite the same way. Our Senior Care Plan provides ongoing veterinary support shaped around your pet’s health, habits, and individual needs.
Rather than waiting until something is wrong, we stay connected throughout the year—giving us opportunities to recognize changes, address concerns, and adjust recommendations as your pet ages.
Limited enrollment
To preserve the time, availability, and continuity of care each enrolled pet deserves, a limited number of Senior Care Plan memberships are available.

A closer relationship through every change
We get to know your pet at home and stay connected throughout their senior years, making it easier to notice subtle changes early and respond with care that fits their needs.
The plan provides a foundation of regular visits and proactive screening, with room to tailor monitoring as your pet’s health evolves.
Includes:
Quarterly in-home senior veterinary exams
Quarterly virtual check-ins
Proactive bloodwork screening, including lymphoma screening
Annual blood pressure evaluation
Annual blood parasite screening
Ongoing monitoring of health, comfort, mobility, and quality of life
Care recommendations tailored as your pet’s needs change
Coordination with your family veterinarian as needed
When appropriate, we can customize your pet’s care with additional diagnostics such as routine radiographs for arthritis, cardiac disease, or other conditions needing ongoing monitoring, and treatments such as cryosurgery for appropriate small masses.
More veterinary care can happen at home than you may think.
We bring comprehensive care and diagnostics directly to your home, so your pet receives a thorough senior evaluation in the environment where they feel most comfortable.
Comprehensive senior exams
A thorough nose-to-tail examination with special attention to the changes that matter as pets age—including weight, mobility, pain, cognition, appetite, behavior, and overall comfort.
Preventive diagnostics
Blood and urine testing allow us to establish important baselines, monitor trends over time, and identify changes that may not yet be obvious at home.
Mobile digital X-ray
Our mobile digital X-ray equipment allows us to perform radiographs in your home when needed, expanding the level of diagnostic care we can provide without requiring your pet to travel.
Cryosurgery
Cryosurgery can be performed in the home for appropriate small masses, offering a minimally invasive option for select skin growths when clinically indicated.
Quality of life & mobility
We consider comfort, mobility, appetite, behavior, engagement, and other meaningful changes throughout your pet’s senior years—not only at the end of life. Seeing your pet in their own environment also allows us to assess how they navigate stairs, flooring, sleeping areas, and everyday routines.
When hospitalization, advanced imaging, emergency treatment, or specialty care is needed, we’ll help coordinate the appropriate next step.
Schedule a Consultation
Senior care made simple.
Four simple steps to ongoing senior care at home.
Tell us about your pet
Share your pet’s age, health history, current concerns, and what you’re hoping to accomplish. We’ll help determine whether a Senior Care Plan is appropriate and how to shape it around their needs.
We come to you
Your veterinarian visits your pet at home for a comprehensive senior evaluation, with time to discuss the changes you’ve noticed and the things that matter most to your family.
We create a plan
Together, we’ll identify priorities for your pet’s health and comfort and establish recommendations for monitoring, diagnostics, treatment, or supportive care.
We stay connected
Regular veterinary visits and virtual check-ins allow us to follow your pet over time and adjust their care as their health and needs change.

Bringing compassionate care to your doorstep

Does a Senior Care Plan replace my family veterinarian?
No. Senior Pet Vet works alongside your family veterinarian, providing an additional layer of senior-focused care in the comfort of home. With your permission, we can share our findings and recommendations and coordinate care when additional services or specialty care are needed.
Does my pet need to be sick to enroll?
Not at all. Senior Care Plans are designed to be proactive. Regular exams, virtual check-ins, and preventive diagnostics help us establish what is normal for your pet, follow changes over time, and identify concerns as they arise.
How is a Senior Care Plan tailored to my pet?
We start with your pet’s age, health history, existing conditions, and the changes you’re seeing at home. Regular visits and screening give us a foundation, while additional monitoring, diagnostics, or treatments can be recommended as their needs evolve.
What veterinary care can be provided at home?
A great deal. We can perform comprehensive physical exams, blood and urine testing, quality-of-life assessments, and many treatments—including cryosurgery for appropriate small masses—right in your home. We also have mobile digital X-ray equipment, allowing us to perform radiographs at home when needed. If your pet requires hospitalization, advanced imaging, emergency treatment, or specialty care, we’ll help coordinate the appropriate next step.
What happens if my pet becomes sick between scheduled visits?
If you notice a new or concerning change, contact our team and we can help determine the appropriate next step. Depending on your pet’s needs, that may include a virtual check-in, an additional veterinary visit, evaluation by your primary veterinarian, or emergency care. Senior Care Plans are not a substitute for emergency veterinary services.
What if my pet’s needs become more advanced?
One of the benefits of ongoing senior care is that we get to know your pet and can recognize when their needs begin to change. If routine senior care is no longer enough, we can help transition your pet into a more individualized palliative care plan focused on managing symptoms, maintaining comfort, and preserving quality of life. When appropriate, our team can also provide hospice and end-of-life care, allowing for continuity as your pet’s needs evolve.
Is enrollment limited?
Yes. Senior Care Plan enrollment is intentionally limited. Because these plans include ongoing veterinary care and regular follow-up throughout the year, limiting enrollment allows us to preserve the time, availability, and continuity of care each enrolled pet deserves.
How do the monthly payments work?
Senior Care Plans are offered as a monthly membership, allowing the cost of your pet’s included care to be spread into predictable monthly payments. Our team can help you understand what is included and discuss any additional care recommended for your pet’s needs.
