Advanced preventive care, early detection, and convenient monthly payments for your senior dog.
As dogs age, their healthcare needs begin to change. Senior dogs may develop medical concerns before obvious symptoms appear at home, making regular examinations and more advanced diagnostic screening increasingly important.
The Tailwaggers Senior Dog Wellness Membership includes a foundation of preventive care designed to monitor age-related changes and support your dog’s comfort, health, and quality of life. The plan can also be adjusted with optional services based on your dog’s lifestyle, medical needs, and individual risk factors.
Senior dogs often experience gradual changes in organ function, mobility, weight, appetite, dental health, and behavior. Routine preventive care helps us identify those changes earlier and make recommendations that support comfort and quality of life.

Senior Dog Wellness Foundation
What Is Included
The Senior Dog Wellness Membership includes preventive services designed to monitor your dog more closely as they age.
🩺
Two Preventive Care Examinations
Your senior dog will receive two comprehensive preventive care examinations during the membership year.
These visits allow our veterinarians to monitor weight, nutrition, dental health, mobility, skin, heart, lungs, behavior, comfort, and other changes that may develop with age.
➕
Two Additional Examinations
The plan includes two additional examinations that can be used as needed during the membership year.
These visits may be helpful when a new concern develops or when your dog needs to be examined between scheduled preventive visits. Diagnostic testing, treatment, and medications are separate unless specifically included in the plan.
🔬
Senior Diagnostic Screening
Senior diagnostic screening provides a more complete evaluation of your dog’s internal health and helps identify changes that may not be visible during a physical examination.
The screening includes:
Blood chemistry panel
Complete blood count
Thyroid testing
Urinalysis
Heartworm test
Intestinal parasite fecal examination
These tests help evaluate organ function, blood cells, thyroid health, urine concentration, heartworm exposure, and intestinal parasites.
🛡️
Distemper/Parvo Vaccination
The membership includes the recommended Distemper/Parvo combination vaccination when due during the plan year.
This core vaccine helps protect against several serious infectious diseases, including canine distemper and parvovirus. Your veterinarian will recommend vaccination based on your dog’s age and previous vaccine history.
💧
Leptospirosis Vaccination
The plan includes the recommended Leptospirosis vaccination for the membership year.

🐕
Bordetella Vaccination for the Year
The plan includes the recommended Bordetella vaccinations for the membership year.
Bordetella vaccination helps protect against one of the common causes of infectious respiratory disease. It is especially important for dogs that visit grooming facilities, boarding facilities, daycare, training classes, dog parks, or other environments where dogs gather.

Rabies Vaccination
Rabies vaccination is included when due during the membership year.
Rabies is a fatal viral disease that can affect both animals and people. Maintaining current vaccination protects your dog and helps meet local legal requirements.

Flexible by Design
Build the Right Plan for Your Senior Dog
Senior dogs do not all age in the same way. Their preventive needs may vary based on breed, size, mobility, dental health, medical history, lifestyle, and ongoing health concerns.
Our team will help you select the included foundation and optional services that best fit your dog’s current stage of life.
Easier Budgeting
Convenient Monthly Payments
Senior preventive care may include multiple examinations, advanced laboratory screening, vaccinations, parasite prevention, and dental care during the year.
Tailwaggers Wellness Club spreads the cost of the selected services across monthly payments according to the terms of your membership.
Care That Fits
Adjust the Plan Up or Down
Begin with your senior dog’s preventive-care foundation and add appropriate options based on your veterinarian’s recommendations and your family’s preferences.
The goal is to provide the care your dog needs without placing your family into a rigid package that does not fit.
Senior Dog Wellness Plan Questions
Why does my senior dog need more advanced diagnostic testing?
