Setting a Standard of Senior Care for Dogs
The number of senior dogs in the US is on the rise. While age is not a disease, dogs do have unique needs and considerations when it comes to their medical management and preventative care as they age.
Developing clear standards of care helps to advance the field of canine geroscience and provides veterinary professionals with the necessary tools to optimally care for this special demographic, ultimately improving the quality of life of elderly dogs.
Our Goal
Senior dogs are some of our most lovable patients in veterinary medicine, yet they come with a whole array of complex diseases!
Our goal is to advance the care and experience of the aging canine patient population, which continues to grow as veterinary medicine evolves.​​
