Things to watch

Signs worth noting in any senior pet

We’re still building the detailed watch list for this breed. These general senior signs are worth noting for every dog or cat:

Stiffness, slower to rise, or reluctance on stairs and jumps
Changes in appetite, thirst or weight
Coughing, faster breathing at rest, or tiring sooner on walks
New lumps or bumps, or ones that change
Confusion, night-time restlessness or changes in sleep

Screening schedule

A calm rhythm for check-ups

Use this as a conversation starter with your vet, who will tailor timing and tests to your pet.

  1. Every day

    A 30-second check-in: appetite, energy, pain, mobility and breathing. Changes show up as trends, not guesses.

  2. From about age 8

    Ask your vet about a senior check-up rhythm and which blood, urine or blood-pressure tests make sense.

  3. Breed-specific

    Ask your vet whether any breed-specific screening applies to your pet.

  4. Before each visit

    Bring a short summary of what changed — Senicure’s vet-ready report puts the last weeks on one page.

When not to wait

Trouble breathing, collapse, seizures, suspected poisoning, a swollen hard belly or heavy bleeding: call your vet or an emergency clinic now.

Senicure is not a veterinary service and does not diagnose. Breed information is general and may be incomplete; your vet is the right person to judge your pet’s risks.

Your pet’s lifelong health memory.
