An important component of our puppy preschool curriculum is getting the pups acclimatised to the specific kind of handling they will experience here at the clinic during an examination. This is a crucial part of desensitisation training and also aids in their future vet visits being as fear free as possible🥰🩺

🐾Senior Animals Month🐾
Beautiful Winnie wants you all to know about some of the common issues senior pets face!

🐶Arthritis and Joint Pain: Older pets often experience stiffness and discomfort due to arthritis and joint issues, impacting their mobility and quality of life.

🐶Dental Problems: Dental issues such as gum disease, tooth decay, and tooth loss are prevalent among senior pets and can lead to pain, difficulty eating, and other health issues.

🐶Vision and Hearing Loss: Senior pets may develop impaired vision or hearing as they age, affecting their ability to navigate their environment and respond to stimuli.

🐶Cognitive Dysfunction: Cognitive decline, similar to dementia in humans, can occur in senior pets, leading to disorientation, confusion, changes in behavior, and decreased responsiveness.

🐶Kidney and Liver Disease: Older pets are at higher risk of developing kidney and liver diseases, which can affect their overall health and require ongoing management and monitoring.

🐶Cancer: The risk of cancer increases with age in pets, leading to various types of tumors and requiring diagnosis, treatment, and supportive care.

🐶Weight Management: Senior pets are prone to weight gain or loss, which can exacerbate existing health issues or contribute to new ones. Proper nutrition and exercise are crucial for maintaining a healthy weight.

🐶Heart Disease: Heart conditions such as congestive heart failure and valvular disease are common in senior pets and may require medication and lifestyle adjustments for management.

Regular veterinary check-ups, preventive care, proper nutrition, and a comfortable environment can help mitigate these issues and improve the overall well-being of our senior pets.🫶🏼
