🐾 November is Senior Pet Month! 🐾
This month, is all about celebrating senior pets and raising awareness about adopting older animals who need loving homes. Senior pets make wonderful companions with so much love to give! 🐶🐱
It’s also a time to focus on their care. Here are some tips:
• Wellness exams twice a year 🩺
• Baseline bloodwork & x-rays 📋
• Watch for signs of aging like cloudy eyes or decreased mobility 👀
• Keep nails trimmed & teeth clean for their comfort and health 🦷✂️
• Make food & water easy to reach 🍲
• Notice behavioral changes that could indicate discomfort 🐾
A dog's age at which it's considered a senior depends on its breed and size:
Small breeds: Around 10–12 years old
Medium breeds: Around 8–9 years old
Large and giant breeds: Around 6–7 years old
Let’s give senior pets the love and care they deserve! And if you have a senior pet, share a photo in the comments below! ❤️Heres my sweet bossy girl Jemma 🫶🏼
