Helping senior dogs and cats age gracefully in the comfort of their homes. In-home mobility evaluations, chronic care, and senior lab screens.
As our pets age, their medical, nutritional, and emotional needs change. Senior dogs and cats (typically those aged 7 years and older) are more prone to chronic diseases like kidney disease, thyroid dysfunction, diabetes, and painful arthritis. Traveling to a clinic can be incredibly difficult for aging pets—especially heavy dogs with bad hips who struggle to climb into cars, or elderly cats who are easily stressed. Tailored Animal Care brings gentle, comprehensive senior care directly to their favorite bed, helping them age gracefully and pain-free.
Our Senior Care Approach
Stress-Free Exams in Their Safe Place: No cold metal exam tables or slick clinic floors. Dr. Loomis examines your senior pet where they feel secure.
Vital Signs & Temperature Checks: Gentle checking of Temperature, Pulse, and Respiration (T.P.R.) and weight tracking.
Mobility & Joint Assessment: We evaluate how your senior pet moves around your home and discuss environmental modifications (like rug runners, ramps, and orthopedic beds) to ease their pain.
Holistic Lifestyle Consultation: We discuss inside/outside schedules, companion animal relationships, appetite, metabolic changes, and cognitive function.
Recommended Senior Screenings
Because senior pets hide illness, we recommend annual diagnostic blood and urine profiles to check internal organs:
Antech SA715 Senior Health Panel ($240.00): Comprehensive blood and organ health profile designed specifically to monitor kidney, liver, thyroid (T4), and metabolic health.
Urinalysis (Complete, $72.90): Screens for early kidney disease, diabetes, and silent urinary tract infections.
T4 Thyroid Test ($60.00): Evaluates thyroid hormone levels (crucial for hyperthyroid cats and hypothyroid dogs).
Blood Pressure Check ($45.00): Monitors for hypertension, common in senior cats with kidney disease or thyroid issues.
Prescriptions & Home Delivery
If your senior pet requires daily pain medications, joint supplements, or specialty prescription diets (such as kidney support or joint care food), we will authorize them on our Online Pharmacy for direct shipping. If we have the item in stock on our mobile unit and you live local to Luther, we will deliver it directly to your house without a travel fee!
