How To Keep Aging Dogs Happy and Healthy

In general, dogs are considered to be geriatric when they reach 8 to 12 years of age. Like people, pets are individual in the way they age. One of the most common signs of aging is slowing down i.e. it will take a dog longer to get up from a lying position, and climbing stairs won’t be as easy for him as it used to be.

Of course, loving owners can still enjoy fulfilling relationships with their aging pets – they just need to be informed about the special needs of older animals and do all they can to keep their faithful companion healthy.

Below are Some Tips Which Can Help Them to Achieve This:

Arrange for Biannual Veterinary Check-Ups
It is vital for aging animals to have periodical veterinary check-ups. Indeed, blood tests, urinalyses and faecal examinations will help to ensure any health concerns are detected immediately

Buy Suitably Nutritious Pet Food
Owners need to keep in mind that as dogs age, their metabolic rate slows by up to 30 percent; therefore they don’t need as much food as they used to. With this in mind, owners should make sure their dogs receive a diet which is suited to their needs.

Maintain Good Dental Health
Rotting teeth can cause gum and mouth infections which, if left untreated, can eventually migrate to vital organs. Owners need to brush their dog’s teeth every other day and have his teeth cleaned professionally as often as their veterinarian recommends.
