Your pets' needs change as they age. As pet parents, it is our job to monitor the lifestyle and behavioral patterns of our furry friends, and let your veterinarian know about any changes. At Adobe Animal Hospital & Laser Surgery Center, we want to be here for every stage of your pet’s life.

Surgical sterilization is also an important aspect to lifelong wellness. Pets who are spayed and neutered are less likely to develop health issues like reproductive cancers and infections that can pose a threat to their wellness.
In addition, microchipping your pet during a spay/neuter procedure is an excellent option if you do not want your pet to undergo further surgeries. Most pet parents find this option of great convenience as a way to avoid additional pain or discomfort.
Annual Examinations For Adult Pets Provide Lifelong Wellness
Your pet deserves to live a long, healthy, and happy life. We recommend annual veterinary visits to give your pet the opportunity to extend their life and enjoy it along your side. We offer complete nose-to-tail wellness exams and converse with our pet owners to discuss the most reliable wellness solutions for your pet. Our team will cover the following during this exam:
- Required vaccines
- Methods for parasite prevention
- Testing and prevention of heartworms
- Exercise and environmental enrichment
- Nutritional and dietary needs
- Training and behavior concerns
Additionally, conducting blood work and other diagnostics aid our vets in establishing your pet’s health and wellness. We also suggest that pet parents are always observant about their pet’s behaviors and changes, as persistent monitoring can help us catch diseases when they start.
Your furry companions will need attention as they move toward the following stages of their life. But you can always count on the team at Adobe Animal Hospital & Laser Surgery Center to provide the proper care for their situation.
Hill's Prescription Diet
Hill’s Prescription Diet provides specialized nutrition designed to manage a variety of health conditions. Backed by clinical research and formulated by expert veterinarians and PhD nutritionists, these diets ensure your pet receives high-quality, science-driven nutrition.
If your pet has specific health concerns or could benefit from additional dietary support, schedule a visit with your veterinarian to learn how the Prescription Diet can make a difference.
Prescription Diets (Therapeutic Diets)
Includes:
- Purpose: Specially formulated to manage or support pets with specific health conditions.
- Requires Veterinary Approval: These diets are designed for pets with medical needs and should only be fed under a vet’s guidance.
- Clinically Tested: Prescription diets undergo rigorous research and clinical trials to ensure they effectively manage conditions like kidney disease, diabetes, urinary health, and allergies.
- Targeted Nutrition: Often contain unique ingredients, precise nutrient balances, or reduced levels of certain compounds (e.g., phosphorus for kidney health, controlled fat for pancreatitis).
Examples of Prescription Diets & Their Uses:
- Hill’s Prescription Diet k/d – Supports kidney function in pets with kidney disease.
- Hill’s Prescription Diet c/d – Helps prevent urinary crystals and bladder stones.
- Hill’s Prescription Diet i/d – Aids digestion and supports GI health.

Non-Prescription Diets (Standard Pet Foods)
Includes:
- Purpose: Provides complete and balanced nutrition for healthy pets at different life stages (puppy, adult, senior).
- Available Over-the-Counter: Can be purchased without veterinary approval.
- General Wellness Support: Designed for overall health rather than treating medical conditions.
- Quality Varies: Some brands offer premium options (like Hill’s Science Diet), while others may lack high-quality ingredients or tailored nutrition.

- Hill’s Science Diet Senior 7+ – Formulated to meet the nutritional needs of aging pets.
Which One Does Your Pet Need?
If your pet has a diagnosed condition (e.g., kidney disease, obesity, food allergies), a prescription diet is likely necessary and should be recommended by your veterinarian.
If your pet is healthy and needs a well-balanced diet, a non-prescription diet like Hill’s Science Diet can provide high-quality nutrition tailored to their life stage and needs.
Still unsure? Schedule an appointment with your veterinarian to discuss the best diet for your pet’s specific needs.
