🐾 November is Senior Pet Month 💛
So it's time to bring awareness to our beloved senior pets. Just like us, our pets’ needs change as they get older. Senior dogs and cats can still live long, happy, and comfortable lives , they just need a little extra TLC. These are our top vet tips for keeping your golden oldie feeling their best 👇
1️⃣ Home modifications:
Make your home senior-friendly with ramps, pet stairs, and orthopaedic beds to protect their joints and help them move around comfortably.
2️⃣ Joint support:
A joint support diet or supplements containing ingredients like omega-3 fatty acids can make a big difference in mobility and comfort.
3️⃣ Regular vet checks:
Older pets should see their vet at least twice a year for check-ups. Catching early signs of arthritis, dental disease, or organ issues can help improve health outcomes and their quality of life.
4️⃣ Keep them warm:
Senior pets feel the cold more easily and cold joints exacerbate arthritis pain. Use cosy jackets on winter walks and provide warm bedding or heated pet beds at home.
5️⃣ Gentle exercise:
Stay active but keep it low intensity. Short walks, gentle play, or swimming are great ways to keep muscles strong without overdoing it.
6️⃣ Keep their mind sharp:
Mental stimulation is just as important! Puzzle feeders, interactive toys, and simple training exercises can help keep your pet’s brain active and engaged.
✨ Our senior pets give us a lifetime of love. Let's do our part to make their golden years as comfortable and happy as possible.
