Caring for older pets
Do you have older pets? Due to improved diet and care, pets are getting to live longer than before. This presents a whole new set of age related conditions. Cats and dogs are generally considered old at the age of 7 years. Large breed dogs are generally considered geriatric at the age of 6 years. Some of the problems old pets suffer include cancer, heart disease, kidney disease, diabetes, senility and weakness. Frequent visits to the vet should be arranged on a semi-annual basis. The food should be more readily digested and should have anti aging nutrients. Weight increases the risk of health problems and appropriate exercise helps to keep them healthy and mobile. Sleeping areas should be improved to avoid stairs and should be more comfortable as older pets spend more time indoors.
