Although our adult pets may be active, playful, and in good health, many of us are not aware that after 6 or 7 years of age most cats and dogs are considered seniors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Senior Related Illnesses<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As pets age, their needs evolve. Senior pets, much like senior humans, require specialized care and attention to help them continue thriving. After your pet reaches the age of 6 or 7, rapid changes in their physical capabilities and mental well-being become much more common.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>While we want to treat them the same, their bodies are now at risk for many of the chronic and serious conditions that affect older humans. Ignoring these changes can lead to unnecessary discomfort or pain.<\/p>\n<h3>We closely screen senior pets for conditions such as:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diabetes<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Heart disease<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cancer<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arthritis<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dental disease<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Intestinal difficulties<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cognitive problems<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vision and hearing loss<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Special Considerations For Senior Pets<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fortunately, you can help keep your senior pet\u2019s quality of life high with tailored adjustments to your pet care routine:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Nutrition and weight management<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0As our pets age, their nutritional and metabolic needs change. Many senior pets benefit from fewer calories, higher levels of protein, and additional vitamins and minerals. Your veterinarian will help you put together a diet and nutrition plan that meets your aging pet\u2019s needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Exercise and mobility<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">E<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">xercise<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> should still be a part of your pet&#8217;s daily routine. Regular exercise can help reduce joint pain associated with arthritis. A game of ball tosses and\/or short outdoor walks are ideal exercises. There are also a variety of products that help with supporting older pets with mobility issues. To support your senior pet, utilize tools like raised beds, elevated food and water dishes, and accessible ramps and stairs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Dental Health<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Good oral hygiene can add years to your pet\u2019s life. Even if you haven\u2019t paid much attention to your pet\u2019s dental care in the past, it\u2019s never too late to start. Lone Tree Veterinary Medical Center offers state of the art <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lonetreevet.com\/medicine\/dentistry.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">comprehensive pet dental care services.\u00a0<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Everything from routine teeth cleaning to oral surgical care, all performed by our highly trained veterinary team. We are happy to advise you on proper tooth brushing techniques and other aspects of home dental care for your senior pet.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Climate Control<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Senior pets tend to be more susceptible to changes in temperature and humidity. It&#8217;s important to take precautions to protect them from the elements. Watch your pet closely when outside in warm weather and make sure there is plenty of shade and water available. In the colder months, keep pets indoors as often as possible. Consider purchasing warm, waterproof outerwear and foot booties for use on winter walks and other outdoor activities.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Bi-Annual Wellness Exams<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because pets age so much more rapidly than humans, and the risk of disease increases with age, regular veterinary care is essential for diagnosing age-related disease or other issues early. At Lone Tree Veterinary Medical Center, we recommend that your senior pet come in for regular <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lonetreevet.com\/medicine\/preventive-care.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">wellness checkups<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and lab work more frequently than younger animals, usually twice per year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of this extra TLC can help your senior pet live a long and happy life. Your team at Lone Tree Veterinary Medical Center is here to help you and your senior pet every step of the way.
