Senior Dog Wellness Health Care in Wayne, NJ

Senior Canine Care Wayne

Emphasizing Your Dog’s Wellness Care

Throughout Their Life Will Significantly Increase Their Lifespan.

When a dog reaches his or her “senior” years, normal changes take place and diseases may follow that can often affect their overall health, well-being and comfort. Many conditions, when detected early and treated properly, can be prevented from progressing into more serious and sometimes life threatening illnesses. We recommend bi-annual senior wellness exams so that we may monitor your senior dog’s health before serious problems develop which may negatively affect your dog’s quality of life. We encourage our clients to take an active role in the prevention of ailments associated with the aging process that may affect their senior dog in Wayne.

Our bi-annual comprehensive senior canine wellness exam in Wayne includes:

  • An in-depth, “nose to tail” examination
  • Dental evaluation
  • Comprehensive diagnostic testing that may include a senior dog blood profile analysis (blood count and blood chemistry panel), urine and fecal analysis, x-rays, blood and eye pressure testing.
  • Vaccinations
  • Parasite testing and prevention
  • Heartworm testing and prevention
  • Weight assessment, nutrition and dietary advice
  • Additional testing as may be indicated

If you notice any of the following symptoms, we recommend you schedule an appointment to discuss them with our veterinarian:

  • Weight loss
  • Decrease in appetite
  • Excess urination
  • Excess drinking
  • Reduced exercise, reluctance to move, run, jump, etc.
  • Perception of pain  when your pet moves or is handled
  • Any vomiting or diarrhea
  • Change in urination, infrequent urination or lack of bowel movements
  • New lumps or bumps
  • Change in dog’s energy level

Never Give Medication to a Senior Dog Unless It Was Prescribed By A Veterinarian
Most Importantly, NEVER GIVE medications without direct approval from your Wayne veterinarian. Many products that are deemed safe for humans are extremely toxic to pets and can prove to be fatal.  If in doubt — Call Our Office first and ask – 973-831-2426.

If you are looking for a veterinarian look no further. This place literally is amazing and clean. Dr. Torres and Dr. Silberman are the best! I remember bringing my kitten the first time hysterically crying because I never owned a pet before but they made sure to calm me down and reassure me that everything was going to be ok. The staff is one of the friendliest and most professional I've ever met. 10/10 will literally exceed all your expectations.

We took our nervous 2-year old cat (Hobbes) to Tri-County Animal Hospital for the first time, and the experience we had with this facility was excellent. From the initial call of setting up the appointment, the staff came across as professional and kind. It's not always fun taking a cat to the vet, but the staff were warm towards Hobbes and did their best to make her feel comfortable.

They absolutely get it ! The best Veterinarians, the best support staff. I moved this past year and decided to try another animal hospital closer to me. Bad mistake, lesson learned ! What a relief to be back where quality of care and expertise resides.

From my first consultation with Dr Torres, over the phone, she was asking loads of questions trying to get as much information about Charly. That left an incredible impression on me as other doctors would just rush me off the phone. I also can't say enough about everyone else that works there. So glad I brought my girls to you.

I've had wonderful experiences at Tri-County. The vets are empathetic, caring, patient, thorough, and funny, too. Things are explained to me and I am given options. The staff are also friendly, helpful, engaging, and are always glad to see us. Very happy to have the Tri-County team care for my dogs!

Wonderful Doctors and staff at this hospital. Both Dr. Silberman and Dr. Torres have been very attentive, thorough and knowledgeable with my fur baby. Also need to mention that this is the only animal hospital that I have been to that doesn't smell like one. That is always the first thing I notice when I first walk in the door and tells me that the hospital is kept clean. Love this. It's a bit of a trek for me but so worth the trip. I highly recommend!!
