๐ŸŒŸ Fun Fact Friday ๐ŸŒŸ

Did you knowโ“
Cats often hide signs of ageing. Theyโ€™re masters of disguise! ๐Ÿ•ต๏ธโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿฑ

Unlike dogs, our feline friends donโ€™t always make it obvious when theyโ€™re not feeling their best. Subtle changesโ€”such as sleeping more, hesitating before jumping or a dull or scruffy coatโ€”can be early signs of age-related conditions including arthritis, kidney disease or hyperthyroidism.

๐Ÿ‘€ If your senior cat is acting just a little โ€œoff,โ€ donโ€™t ignore itโ€”it might be their way of asking for help.

โœ… Regular vet check-ups are key to keeping your older cat healthy and comfortable well into their golden years.

๐ŸŒŸ Grooming Tips for Older Dogs ๐ŸŒŸ

Older dogs can benefit from regular grooming to help keep their coats shiny and matt-free. ๐Ÿ’ˆโœ‚
Here are some simple techniques for keeping your golden oldie feeling and looking their very best:

๐Ÿพ Brush them regularly to prevent matting and promote healthy skin and coat.
๐Ÿพ Trim their nails regularly to prevent discomfort and potential injury.
๐Ÿพ Keep their ears clean and free of debris to prevent infections.
๐Ÿพ Bathe them as needed, but be sure to use a gentle shampoo specifically formulated for senior dogs.
๐Ÿพ Pay attention to any lumps, bumps, or skin irritations and consult our vets if you notice any changes.

Remember, regular grooming not only keeps your senior dog looking and feeling their best, but it also helps maintain their overall health and well-being.
If you have any concerns about your pet, please contact us to book a consultation with our vets.๐Ÿ’•

๐ŸŒŸ Is My Senior Pet Going Deaf? ๐ŸŒŸ

Have you noticed your older dog or cat not responding when you call their name, or sleeping through loud noises? It could be more than just โ€œselective hearingโ€โ€”they might be losing their hearing.

Hearing loss is common in senior pets and often happens gradually. Some signs to look out for:
๐Ÿ”‡ No response to familiar sounds
๐Ÿ˜ด Startles when touched
๐Ÿพ Sleeps more deeply than usual
๐Ÿถ Barks or meows more loudly
๐Ÿ• Doesnโ€™t notice when you come home

The good news? Deaf pets can still live happy, full lives with a few simple adjustments at homeโ€”such as using hand signals, keeping routines consistent and avoiding startle surprises.

If youโ€™re concerned your pet might be going deaf, we can help. Book a check-up to rule out ear infections or other treatable causes. ๐Ÿพโค๏ธ
