Signs Your Pet May Be Nearing the End of Life

As a veterinarian specializing in end-of-life care, I've observed many cats and dogs in their final days. While every animal is unique, there are common behaviors that may indicate your pet is nearing the end of their journey.

One of the most noticeable changes is a significant decrease in activity. Your once-playful pet may become lethargic, spending most of their time sleeping. Dogs might struggle with mobility, while cats often avoid in quiet, hidden spots.

Appetite loss is another crucial sign. Your pet may refuse their favorite foods or stop eating altogether, leading to weight loss and dehydration. You might notice their fur looking dull and their skin losing elasticity.

Changes in bathroom habits are common. Some pets may become incontinent, while others might stop using their designated areas entirely. Difficulty breathing, characterized by rapid, shallow breaths or open-mouth breathing, can also indicate declining health.

Cognitive changes may occur as well. Your pet might seem confused, disoriented, or unresponsive to your presence. Dogs often become needier, seeking constant companionship, while cats may withdraw and seek solitude.

Species-specific signs exist too. Cats might purr more as a self-soothing mechanism or press their heads against walls. Dogs may develop a glazed look in their eyes or exhibit nesting behaviors.

If you notice these signs, it's essential to consult with your veterinarian promptly. While these behaviors can indicate the end is near, they may also be symptoms of treatable conditions. As pet parents, our role is to ensure our companions are comfortable and pain-free in their final days, making decisions that prioritize their quality of life.

The perils of chocolate Easter bunnies may not come as a surprise to most dog owners, but there are a half dozen other potential threats you need to know about if you share your home with a cat or dog. One little-known, highly toxic hazard has only become a serious problem in recent years.

The short answer: it varies.

Cats are generally considered “senior” after 10 years of age. However, dogs don’t have a universal age of seniority because of their wider variety in size. Larger breed dogs tend to have shorter life spans than smaller breeds. For this and other reasons, experts suggest that dogs be considered “senior” when they reach the last 25 percent of the estimated life span for their breed. On average, using data from the American Kennel Club, this translates to the following ages:

• Small or toy breeds (less than 20 pounds): 8 to 11 years
• Medium-sized breeds (20 to 50 pounds): 8 to 10 years
• Large breeds (50 to 90 pounds): 8 to 9 years
• Giant breeds (more than 90 pounds): 6 to 7 years
