Cold temperatures can be dangerous for pets. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

Check their tolerance - Pets with short coats or medical issues may need extra care in the cold.

November is National Senior Pet Month! 🐾
With advances in veterinary medicine, funding, and research, our pets are living longer, healthier, and happier lives than ever before! 🏥❤️ While this strengthens the human-animal bond, it’s also important to understand normal aging changes and how we can make life more comfortable for our senior pets.
What Age is Considered Senior? The age varies depending on species and breed:
Cats: 8-10 years+
Dogs > 50 lbs: 6 years+
Dogs < 50 lbs: 8 years+
Veterinary Care for Senior Pets

As pets age, their healthcare needs change. Senior pets may need more frequent vet visits to monitor and manage chronic or emerging conditions. Vaccinations might be spaced out further, but rabies shots remain crucial. Common health concerns like arthritis require proper pain management and accommodations to keep pets comfortable.
Celebrate Senior Pet Month by giving your older pets the extra love and care they deserve
