Just like humans, dogs don’t stay young forever. A senior dog can develop similar problems and diseases as their human counterparts such as dementia, memory loss, arthritis, hip and joint problems and even diabetes. Are dog vitamins the answer?
As dogs age they begin to slow down, they have less energy and therefore their activity level decreases. Those are all outward signs of an aging dog but there are things going on internally that we are unable to see. There will be changes in their immune system which will make it harder for their bodies to fight infection.
How quickly a dog will show signs of aging are hard to determine because it is a combination of genes and environmental factors. There are a few steps you can take to help your aging dog live a longer active and healthy life.
- Routine Veterinary visits and exams
- Feed them premium dog food for their specific needs
