Pets often need special attention to deal with issues of getting old Welcome to the July edition of our Woof column. We are already halfway into 2023; isn’t that crazy?
As we all know, time is going by too fast for us, but even faster for our fur babies. With that in mind, I would like to share some important advice to help us with providing the best care to our senior pets.
It is common knowledge that pets age differently than humans. Dogs and cats are usually considered seniors once they turn 6 or 7 years old, based on their size, and smaller breeds are typically expected to live longer than larger breeds.
For example, a Maltese will usually live a longer life than a Rottweiler. But it is important to mention that this is just a generalization, as I have seen plenty of larger babies live long and amazing lives.
