Special Care for Your Aging Senior Dog

As Our Dogs Enter Their Senior Years... We Need to Give Them Extra Special Care

Time really does fly, doesn't it? Before we know it, our once-tiny puppy has become a senior grandpa today. Just like Boonruen, who's now entering his senior years, developing cataracts, kidney disease, a leaky heart valve, and even seizures!! For pets entering their senior years, watch out for conditions related to organ degeneration -- the eyes, heart, liver, kidneys, bones, nervous system, and brain.

But there's nothing to worry about now, since Boonruen has a veterinarian keeping close watch over him, with ongoing follow-up appointments for his conditions. Dogs are just like us -- the older they get, the more special care they need. If your home has a dog entering their senior years, don't forget to take good care of their health. Don't wait until they get sick to look for treatment -- bring them in for a health checkup at least twice a year, so they can be happy in both body and mind, and stay with us for even longer.
