A wonderful service offered by gentle vet Dr. Dosselman & Cactus Creek Mobile Veterinary Services is comprehensive senior and geriatric pet care in the home setting. Senior and geriatric pets are a bridge between younger healthy pets and those that are nearing the end of their natural life span. In Tucson veterinarian Dr. Dosselman's experience, there are many older dogs and cats that do remain healthy for most of their lives, but many others do not and need veterinary intervention to help them along. Eventually, advanced aging or other diseases catch up with even the healthiest of pets. Many senior and geriatric pets have degenerative diseases that can be managed well with ‘palliative’ measures. Arthritis medication used to control pain in an older dog would be an example of palliative care; the pet is not being cured of the problem (osteoarthritis of the joints), but the pain is being addressed and the pet‘s quality of life is greatly increased. Remember- it is wise to have any senior or geriatric pet periodically examined by Tucson vet Dr. Dosselman so that abnormalities may be detected and addressed early on in the course of disease.
Lastly, gentle and peaceful home euthanasia services are offered, where you and your beloved pet can say goodbye in the comfort of your home. Tucson vet Dr. Dosselman’s practice has a special focus on providing the most caring and gentle euthanasia experience possible for pets at the end of their life.
