🐾❄ Winter Woes: Why Senior Pets Feel the Cold More
As our beloved pets age, chilly weather can be especially tough on their joints, mobility, and comfort. ❄

Older animals often struggle to regulate their body temperature—and cold weather can worsen arthritis, joint stiffness, and overall discomfort. The good news? Small changes can make a big difference:

🛏 Provide warm, soft bedding
🚶‍♀ Keep walks short but regular
🧊 Avoid icy or cold floors
🧘‍♀ And don’t forget about physiotherapy! It’s not just for recovery—it can improve mobility, ease pain, and support overall wellness for senior pets.

🤝 We’re happy to help with referrals to trusted local physiotherapists in White River. Let’s keep our older pets happy and comfortable this winter. 💛

📍 Platorand Animal Clinic – Because their golden years deserve gold-standard care.
