Senior cats develop multiple age-related conditions that affect quality of life. Proactive wellness monitoring through regular health checks catches problems early when treatment is most effective.
Senior cats often mask illness effectively, with significant disease present before behavioural changes alert owners. Regular wellness monitoring - including blood pressure measurement, blood and urine testing, and weight monitoring - detects conditions when early intervention can most improve welfare and longevity. Proactive rather than reactive veterinary care significantly improves senior cat welfare.
