As they age, our furry friends may develop some conditions that affect their mobility and overall well-being. However, this is not necessarily the case! They can still maintain a healthy quality of life with early detection and proper care. Learn how Maven’s AI-Vet™ helps your vet uncover small signs early on, allowing senior dogs and cats to age with grace.
Age is not a disease
A study on 100 apparently healthy dogs older than 7 years revealed that roughly 30% were suffering from previously undiagnosed issues. But why is that the case?
As their buddies grow older, many pet parents assume that certain complications are unavoidable and a normal part of the process. However, this is not correct!
Although conditions like osteoarthritis and degenerative joint disease may eventually affect senior dogs and cats, they can still live a happy and pain-free life with early detection and proper care.
Understanding what causes these issues and the benefits of early detection will help pets feel younger longer—and give pet parents more quality years to enjoy with them comfortably by their side!
How Maven’s AI-Vet™ helps
It’s important to be more vigilant with our buddies as they age, as even small changes can indicate that something bigger is going on. The earlier that any signs of trouble are caught, the better – and that’s where Maven steps in! Our AI-Vet™’s continuous monitoring helps your vet detect indicators like:
- Sudden changes in the pet’s usual activity and rest patterns;
- Uncommon behaviors;
- Relevant changes in the pet’s respiratory rate, which is automatically monitored;
- Any symptoms or issues reported by the pet parent via the app.
If any of the above is detected, the vet will be immediately alerted, so they can look into the issue and take action if needed. This way, AI-Vet™ helps vet teams guarantee each pet lives a happy, healthy, and active life in their senior years!
Jake’s case: how we helped free him from joint pain
Have you read our account of Jake’s struggle with mobility issues and how AI-Vet™ came to the rescue? If not, no problem – here’s how we helped in 5 steps:
Step 1
A 12-year-old Golden Retriever mix with no previously known chronic conditions, Jake started to be monitored by AI-Vet™ so his pet parent could be at ease about his health as he got older.
Step 2
After his activity was tracked for a while, Jake’s data started fluctuating a lot – he would be overly active on one day, and very quiet on the next. Something was up…
Step 3
Jake’s nighttime activity showed he was waking up multiple times every night. His pet parent also reported that he was showing some unusual resistance to commands.
Step 4
Jake’s vet was alerted about the symptoms, and an appointment was set. Once the diagnosis was confirmed, Jake started the treatment to improve his joint pain and overall comfort.
Step 5
The improvement was dramatic: Jake became more active and slept much better. His behavior also took a boost – he became more responsive to commands and began engaging in play times once again!
