Just because our pets are getting older, doesn't mean there mind is slowing down! There are lots of options to keep our senior pets entertained such as having a treat ball dispenser for them to push around to get their own treats or even just spreading treats around in your back yard for them to find is great enrichment! Also adding things like pumpkin,Greek yogurt or cream cheese to a Kong or lick mat and freezing it is a great way to keep their mind occupied as well! The fun doesn't stop at the age of 7!

Did you know that the age for senior cats and dogs is 7?! One thing that goes unnoticed in senior pets is joint pain because we tend to think that it comes with old age. We've attached a canine and feline mobility test to see how mobile your pet is, if you notice they are slowing down then give the clinic a call and ask about how Liberal can help your dog or how Solensia can help your cat!
