Cats are living longer than ever, and proactive health monitoring in senior and geriatric cats can detect problems early when treatment is most effective. A systematic wellness approach transforms outcomes.
Many senior cats live with undiagnosed and untreated chronic conditions because their stoic nature masks illness and owners attribute behavioural changes to normal ageing. Early detection of conditions like hyperthyroidism, CKD, and arthritis enables treatment that significantly improves quality of life. The welfare benefit of proactive six-monthly monitoring in cats over 10 years is substantial.
