Senior Pet Care in San Antonio, TX

Supporting Pets Through Their Golden Years

As pets age, their needs change—but our love for them only grows stronger. At Potranco Veterinary Clinic, we’re here to help you navigate every step of your pet’s senior journey with compassion, advanced care, and personalized support.

We believe senior pets deserve the same joyful, comfortable lives they gave us in their younger years. Whether your pet is showing signs of slowing down or just entering their golden stage, we’re here to keep them happy, healthy, and thriving.

When Is a Pet Considered a Senior?

Cats and small dogs are typically considered seniors around age 7, while large-breed dogs may reach that milestone closer to age 5 or 6. Aging isn’t a disease, but it does come with increased health risks, including arthritis, diabetes, kidney disease, heart conditions, and cognitive decline. That’s why proactive care is essential.

What We Offer Senior Pets

• Twice-Yearly Wellness Exams – To detect changes early and adjust care as needed
• Comprehensive Bloodwork & Diagnostics – Monitor organ function, thyroid levels, and more
• Pain Management – Options for arthritis, mobility issues, and chronic discomfort
• Nutritional Counseling – Diets tailored to aging bodies and changing metabolisms
• Behavior & Lifestyle Support – Guidance for sleep changes, anxiety, or cognitive shifts
• Dental Evaluations – Because dental disease is more common (and painful) in older pets

Our goal is to create a care plan that keeps your senior pet comfortable, mobile, and mentally sharp while addressing any chronic conditions early and effectively.
