Senior Pet Care in Greenville, SC | Wade Hampton & Pet Care Mobile
Aging is a natural part of life, and our pets deserve to enjoy their golden years feeling comfortable, loved, and healthy. Senior dogs and cats often need extra support, and understanding how their needs change is the first step in giving them the best possible quality of life. At Wade Hampton & Pet Care Mobile in Greenville, SC, we’re dedicated to providing compassionate, comprehensive senior pet care that keeps tails wagging and purrs going strong.
Importance of Senior Pet Wellness
Older pets are at higher risk for conditions like arthritis, kidney disease, heart problems, dental issues, and cognitive decline. Regular senior wellness visits can catch these changes early, helping your furry family member stay healthy and comfortable for as long as possible. Proactive care can also help manage pain and detect diseases before they become serious or life-limiting.
By scheduling senior wellness exams every six months, pet owners give their companions the best chance to thrive well into their later years. Early detection allows for timely treatments that can slow the progression of many age-related illnesses, keeping your dog or cat active, happy, and pain-free.
What We Offer for Senior Dogs and Cats
Aging pets have unique healthcare needs, and a one-size-fits-all approach just won’t do. That’s why Wade Hampton & Pet Care Mobile offers a complete range of senior-focused veterinary services designed to keep your older dog or cat healthy, comfortable, and thriving. Our experienced team crafts individualized plans for every patient, giving your pet the best chance to enjoy their golden years.
Here’s how our senior pet services help support dogs and cats throughout Greenville and surrounding areas:
Semi-Annual Wellness Exams
Frequent checkups every six months allow us to detect subtle changes in your pet’s health, helping us catch early signs of age-related conditions like kidney disease, arthritis, and cancer.
Comprehensive Diagnostics
Blood tests, urinalysis, and other lab work provide a detailed picture of your pet’s internal health. These tests help identify organ dysfunction, thyroid imbalances, diabetes, and more before they cause serious problems.
Arthritis & Pain Management
Many senior pets struggle with joint pain and stiffness. Our team offers customized pain management plans, including safe medications, joint supplements, laser therapy, and lifestyle recommendations to improve mobility.
Nutrition & Weight Management
Older pets often require changes in diet to maintain a healthy weight and support organ function. We’ll help you choose the right foods, adjust feeding routines, and track weight to keep your pet feeling their best.
Dental Health Support
Dental disease can cause significant pain and impact overall health. Our veterinarians perform thorough oral exams and cleanings, and we can address issues like broken teeth or infections before they become emergencies.
Behavior & Cognitive Care
Just like people, pets can experience cognitive changes as they age. Our team will help you recognize signs of confusion or anxiety and offer strategies, medications, or supplements to support mental well-being.
Senior-Focused Vaccinations & Parasite Prevention
Staying current on vaccines and parasite prevention remains important, but we tailor protocols to minimize stress and avoid unnecessary treatments. Older pets may also benefit from specialized parasite preventatives to keep them protected year-round.
Ongoing Support & Communication
Education is a key part of our senior care approach. We take time to answer your questions, explain test results, and discuss treatment options so you always feel empowered to make the best choices for your aging companion.

FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions About Senior Pet Care
How old is a pet considered a senior?
For most dogs and cats, “senior” starts around age 7, though larger dog breeds may show age-related changes sooner. Your veterinarian can help determine when your pet should begin senior wellness care.
What signs should I watch for in an aging pet?
Changes like stiffness, limping, weight loss or gain, increased thirst, disorientation, bad breath, or lumps should be reported to your veterinarian right away. Early intervention can make a big difference.
How often should senior pets have checkups?
Senior dogs and cats should have wellness exams at least every six months. These more frequent visits help catch health issues before they become serious and allow for timely adjustments to care plans.
Do senior pets still need vaccinations?
Yes, but vaccination schedules may be adjusted based on lifestyle, age, and health. Keeping up with core vaccines and parasite prevention is important for overall well-being.
Is pain in older pets inevitable?
Pain isn’t a normal part of aging, and there are many treatment options to manage it effectively. Discuss your pet’s comfort with your veterinarian if you see any signs of pain or mobility problems.
