November is Senior Pet Health Month! Did you know that dogs and cats are considered seniors at age 7? Pets age must faster than us!

Here are some ways to ensure our seniors get the best care during their golden years:
- Regular vet visits: at minimum annual exams and lab work. Early detection of diseases can increase treatment options.
- Nutrition: Feeding a senior specific diet and having your pet on a joint supplement. Ensure your pets maintain a healthy weight.
- Exercise: Short, regular walks are great for mental stimulation and helps to keep them fit.
- Home Monitoring: Changes in behavior can indicate health issues and may warrant a vet visit to discuss the changes. Provide soft bedding and non-slip rugs or mats for pets with mobility issues.
- Adoption: November is also Adopt a Senior Month! Senior pets are less likely to be adopted. Many senior pets are already trained, have calm demeanors and are typically less demanding than puppies and kittens. Adopting a senior saves a life!

There were more than 300 specialized dogs who worked the sites of 9/11 and only about 100 of them were prepared for the size of the disaster. Below we highlight a small number of those amazing dogs. 🦮🎖️

From top left clockwise:
Riley- made famous for his image being transported across debris at Ground Zero.
Sage- She was sent to search the Pentagon at only 18 months old.
Coby/Guinness- Worked 12 hour shifts for 11 days.
Appollo- One of the first K9s on the scene 15 minutes after the World Trade Center attack. He was almost killed by falling debris and flames but continued working.
Jake- A stray turned SAR (search and rescue) dog who worked 17 days at the World Trade Center.
Trakr- Traveled with a Canadian Police officer and he discovered the last survivor at the World Trade Center.
Louie- The only SAR Boxer who participated in the search and rescue efforts at the World Trade Center.
Bretagne- Worked 10 days at Ground Zero. She went on to work rescue missions of Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Irma. She was the longest surviving SAR dog from 9/11 and she passed away in 2016 at the age of 17!
Prior to 9/11 most people in the U.S. were not familiar with disaster search and rescue dogs. Besides the heroic SAR dogs, there were many therapy dogs used after 9/11. 🇺🇸
