Recent medical treatment advancements and nutritional product improvements, are allowing our four legged family members to live well -- longer. While every dog needs all our love and attention, senior pups have special needs.
Regular exercise, even if it is less exuberant, is a must as activity can postpone or diminish the effects of many maladies that can impact their golden years. We all need to watch our weight and that goes for our dogs as well. If they are healthy, keeping their protein levels up will maintain their muscle mass and help support their joints as quality chicken meal contains Glucosamine and Chondroitin. Feeding them smaller portions two or three times a day will reduce digestive stress and level off their blood-sugar levels defending them against diabetes and pancreatitis.
Maintaining their immune systems will give them extra tomorrows. Supplementing their diets with a vitamin, mineral and antioxidant mix that includes Omega 3 fatty acids will do the same for them and it does for us and from my point of view, they deserve all the care we can give them -- and I include my puppies in all of this – an ounce of prevention and all that. After all, they are family. Speaking of family, regular check-ups with your vet are must do’s.
