🐾 Did you know that, just like us, animals tend to become less sociable as they age? 🐶🐱

A recent study revealed that aging affects animals in a similar way to humans. As they get older, they might become more independent and less playful, preferring quiet time over social interaction. Just like us, they may need more understanding, patience, and care.

At Carevets Mt Wellinton, we understand the changes that come with aging. Whether it’s mobility issues, dietary needs, or maintaining social connections, we’re here to help keep your senior pets happy, healthy, and comfortable.

👩‍⚕️💚 Want to learn more? Book a wellness check-up today and give your aging pet the love and attention they deserve!

🎊 Happy New Year’s from Carevets Mt Wellington!!🎊

30/12/2024

🎊 Here are some holiday season tips: 🎊

👉Create a retreat: Set up a quiet, safe space where your pet can relax away from the hustle and bustle.

👉Xmas aftermath: Keep ornaments, tinsel, ribbons, paper and other festive items out of reach, to avoid accidental chewing or swallowing.

👉No table scraps! Those puppy dog eyes can be convincing, but festive foods can be dangerous for pets.

👉Pre-party exercise: A tired pet is a happy pet. Take them for a walk or play session before guests arrive.
