🐾 Caring for Aging Pets - Tips of the Day 🐾

⚖️ Monitor Weight & Activity
Excess weight can put extra stress on aging joints and organs. Keep your senior pet active at a comfortable level, and watch for sudden changes in appetite or activity—these can be early signs of illness.

🥗 Balanced Senior-Friendly Diet
As pets age, their nutritional needs change. Senior diets are often lower in calories, easier to digest, and enriched with joint-supporting nutrients like glucosamine. Always check with your vet before making dietary changes to ensure the best fit for your pet.

💖 Small adjustments can make a big difference in keeping your senior pet happy and healthy!

🥣 Fresh Water, Always
Senior pets are more prone to dehydration, especially if they’re on certain medications or kidney-support diets. Make sure their water bowls are always topped up and easy to reach.

💧 Consider adding an extra bowl in their favorite room, or even a pet fountain to encourage drinking. Staying hydrated supports kidney function, joint health, and overall wellbeing.

🐾💙 Helping Senior Pets Stay Mobile 💙🐾

As our beloved pets get older, stiff joints and reduced mobility can make everyday activities harder. But with a little extra care, we can help keep them comfortable and moving with ease:

✨ Gentle Exercise – Gentle swimming, short, frequent walks or light play help keep muscles strong without overexertion.
🛌 Supportive Bedding – Orthopedic or memory foam beds reduce pressure on sore joints.
🪜 Ramps & Steps – Provide safe access to couches, beds, and cars without the strain of jumping.
🦴 Joint-Friendly Diet & Supplements – there are diet foods and supplements that support joint health.
💊 Medications - there are a number of different medications that may be prescribed to your pet to ease pain and discomfort associated with arthritis and to keep joints healthy for longer.
💆 Soft tissue and joint mobilisation therapy- there are services available to provide rehab sessions to your pet such as massage therapy, laser therapy and hydrotherapy. Some local providers are Robyn at Pet Miracle Ph 0431 387 787 who comes to your house and Four Paws Rehab Centre in Bomaderry Ph 0499 496 494.
💖 Regular Vet Checks – Early detection of arthritis or mobility issues means better long-term comfort. Call or text us on 0422 319 110 or email [email protected] to arrange a house-call vet visit.

With a few thoughtful adjustments, we can help our senior companions enjoy their golden years in comfort. 🌟🐶🐱

Tip of the day for our Topic of the Week: “Caring for Aging Pets”:

👩‍⚕️ Regular Vet Check-Ups for Senior Pets!

As our furry friends grow older, their needs change. Senior pets benefit from check-ups at least every 6–12 months.
Early detection of age-related conditions—such as arthritis, kidney disease, or heart issues—means treatment can begin sooner and potentially prevent disease progression. Regular visits also help manage existing conditions, keeping your pet comfortable, healthy, and happy for longer. 💖

🐾 Caring for Aging Pets: Today’s Tip 🐾

As our loyal companions grow older, their needs change — and so should their spaces. Making simple, thoughtful adjustments at home can greatly improve your senior pet’s comfort and well-being. 🐶🐱💛

Here are a few ways to create a cozy, senior-friendly space:

• 🛏 Orthopedic, easy-access bedding – Support sore joints with soft, low-to-the-ground bedding that’s easy to step onto.
• 🪜 Pet stairs or ramps – Help them reach favorite couches, beds, or cars safely and without strain.
• 🌡 Climate-conscious sleeping spots – In cold weather, a draft-free corner near a gentle heat source or with a warm pack is ideal. In summer, try cooling mats or ice bricks to help them regulate their temperature.
• 🧸 Extra blankets & comfort items – Layer with cozy blankets in cooler months, or swap for cooling fabrics in the heat.
• 💖 Familiar scents and toys – Favorite items can ease anxiety and provide a sense of security.

✨ Small changes can make a big difference. Let’s give our senior pets the comfort, care, and love they deserve in their golden years. 💕

🔍🐾 Today is National Check the Chip Day 🐾🔍

Is your pet’s microchip info up to date?

Having your pet microchipped is the best way to ensure they can be returned to you if they ever go missing but a microchip is only as good as the details linked to it. If you’ve moved house, changed your phone number, or adopted your pet recently, it’s time to double-check their registration! ✅

Log in to the NSW Pet Registry website ( https://www.petregistry.nsw.gov.au/ ) or contact the council to ensure your pet is listed in your name and your contact details are up-to-date.

If you don’t know your pet’s microchip number, it can be easily scanned by a vet or authorised identifier.

If your pet needs to be microchipped, give us a call or text on 0412 319 110 or email us at [email protected] to arrange an appointment.

When’s the last time you checked your pet’s teeth? 🦷🐾
Bad breath isn’t just a quirk — it can be the first sign of dental disease.
A quick look at their teeth and gums today could save them from pain (and you from a big vet bill) later.

🪥 Look for:
• Red or swollen gums
• Yellow or brown tartar
• Loose or broken teeth

If you spot anything off, book a check-up. A healthy smile = a happy pet.
