According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, small dogs are considered senior by the time they are 7 years old; large dogs are seniors by age 6 years old. As dogs age, so do their needs and physical limitations. Keeping your pet mobile through appropriate exercise keeps your dog healthier and more mobile. Senior pets often develop illnesses such as arthritis, and it is not uncommon for an older pet to get tired and rest more throughout the day. There are a number of products that can help your senior pet adapt to any changes they may face.
Examples include:
- Orthopedic bedding
- Heated beds
- Stairs and ramps
- Senior dog food
- Specialized diet
- Toys for senior pets
- Strollers and carriers
- Incontinence products
- Vitamins & Supplements
- Medication
- Lift Harnesses
