As our pets age, their health naturally begins to decline and there is a higher risk of developing certain age-related conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. Some senior pets develop arthritis in the joints, reducing mobility and, if they’re suffering in pain, quality of life. Like humans, pets need us to pay increased attention to their health in order to help them feel good for as long as possible. Preventative checkups become very important as pets get older as they allow you to catch emerging conditions early and implement nutrition and exercise plans that will benefit your pet.
