Dogs or cats age more rapidly than a humans, the average being seven times faster. By age two, dogs and cats are considered adults and middle aged by the time they hit four. Cats and dogs in general are seniors when they reach 8 to 10 years of age.
Putting this in perspective, seven years of a human’s life equals about 45 for a medium-sized dog and approximately 55 years for a cat. With this rapid aging, the risks of various diseases, illnesses also increase. A major factor in keeping your pet happy and healthy in its senior years, is taking your cat or dog to a veterinarian on a regular basis, however it’s also important for you to take your own role in your pet’s health.
Exercise your senior pet. Your pet is probably not able to run around quite as fast or quite as easily as when it was younger, however you can still take your dog for a walk. You will likely need to slow down or consider an alternative when going for a walk. Pet jogging strollers can help you and you pet continue enjoying the old routines.
With a little care and vigilance on your part, your pet will enjoy a long life, and its senior years will be happy and healthy.
