Helping Older Dogs and Cats in Scottsdale, Phoenix, Paradise Valley, and Mesa Stay Healthy Longer
As dogs and cats age, their health needs change. Just like people, senior pets are more likely to develop chronic conditions such as kidney disease, diabetes, arthritis, or thyroid problems. Many of these issues begin silently, with no obvious outward symptoms. That’s why routine bloodwork is especially important for senior pets.
At Phoenix Mobile Veterinarians and Animal Hospital, we make it easier with mobile bloodwork and sample collection across Scottsdale, Phoenix, Paradise Valley, and Mesa. By bringing diagnostic care directly to your home, we reduce stress for senior pets while helping families stay on top of age-related health changes.
Why Senior Pets Need More Frequent Bloodwork
For older dogs and cats, we often recommend bi-annual testing to:
- Monitor organ function – Kidneys and liver are more vulnerable with age.
- Check for diabetes or thyroid disease – Common endocrine conditions in senior pets.
- Track medication safety – Pets on long-term meds need regular monitoring.
- Spot subtle changes early – Even slight shifts in blood values can signal disease.
Catching these conditions early often means more treatment options, less discomfort for your pet, and better long-term outcomes.
Why Mobile Care Benefits Senior Pets
Older pets are often the ones who struggle the most with travel and clinic visits. Common challenges include:
- Mobility issues – Arthritis or weakness makes car rides uncomfortable.
- Stress and anxiety – Loud waiting rooms can increase blood pressure and mask health conditions.
- Multiple health needs – Seniors often require frequent visits, making mobile care more convenient.
With mobile bloodwork, our veterinarians collect samples in the comfort of your home, ensuring a calmer, safer experience for older pets.
Comprehensive Care for Senior Dogs and Cats
Mobile bloodwork is just one piece of your senior pet’s preventive care. We often combine testing with:
- Mobile Pet Wellness Exams to check mobility, dental health, and overall condition.
- Mobile Vaccinations to ensure continued protection against core diseases.
- Mobile Sick Pet Visits when new symptoms arise.
Together, these services provide a complete approach to keeping older dogs and cats comfortable, healthy, and happy.
