Thanks to advances in veterinary medicine, pets are living
longer than ever before. However with this increased lifespan comes an increase in the types of ailments that can afflict
senior pets. As pets reach the golden years, there are a variety of conditions and diseases that they can face, including
weight and mobility changes; osteoarthritis; kidney, heart, and liver disease; tumors and cancers; hormone disorders such
as diabetes and thyroid imbalance; and many others. To help ensure your pet lives comfortably during the senior life
stage, it’s critical to work with your veterinarian to tailor a senior wellness plan that is best for your animal
companion. Be sure to monitor behavior and physical conditions and report anything unusual to your veterinarian,
who can help your pet head into the golden years with ease.
