The right bowl can support the years ahead.

As pets age, the right balance of nutrients becomes increasingly important in supporting their health, strength, and quality of life. While every senior pet has different needs, certain nutrients can play an important role in healthy aging.

For senior dogs, high-quality, digestible protein helps maintain muscle mass, while fiber can promote healthy digestion. Omega-3 fatty acids are needed to support joint and mobility health, while antioxidants such as vitamins E and C help to strengthen the immune system.

For senior cats, protein and omega-3s remain important. Taurine plays an important role in heart and eye health, while B vitamins support normal nerve and digestive function. Adequate moisture is also especially important for cats to prevent dehydration.

Other factors like age, breed, activity, body condition, and health requirements should all be taken into consideration in selecting the right food. Talk with your veterinarian for the right nutrition plan for your senior pet.

What Does a Safe Life Look Like for Your Pet?

Our pets are naturally curious and may explore areas, objects, or substances without knowing what could be harmful. Taking time to identify potential hazards inside and outside the house can help prevent accidents before they happen.

Here are a few ways to create a safer environment for your pet:

✔️ Secure medications, chemicals, and other hazardous items
✔️ Provide a designated safe and comfortable space
✔️ Review fire safety around your home
✔️ Supervise pets and use a leash when appropriate outdoors
✔️ Keep microchip and ID tag information up to date
✔️ Schedule regular veterinary visits
✔️ Provide appropriate nutrition
✔️ Keep on flea and tick prevention year-round

This month, take a few minutes to walk through your home as a little preparation can help keep them protected every day!

A Closer Look at Your Pet’s Dental Health:

Professional dental cleaning involves a thorough dental examination, scaling, and polishing to remove plaque and tartar that contribute to periodontal disease. As pets need to be still throughout the procedure, they will be put under general anesthesia.

Once anesthetized, plaque and tartar removal, teeth polishing, and examination of the gums for bleeding and periodontal pockets are conducted. The examination may reveal dental disease that could not be identified beforehand. In cases of advanced periodontal disease, affected teeth may need to be extracted. If additional treatment is found to be necessary during the procedure, your veterinary team will discuss it with you. Your pet’s vital signs are continuously monitored during and after the procedure to ensure your pet's safety and comfort.

Take the next step toward better dental care! 🦷
