body & soul Helping Your Four-Legged Companion Through Life "There is a cycle of

love and death that shapes the lives of those who choose to travel in the company of animals. It is a cycle unlike any other. To those who have never lived through its turnings and walked its rocky path, our willingness to give our hearts with full knowledge that they will be broken seems incomprehensible. Only we know how small a price we pay for what we receive; our grief, no matter how powerful it may be, is an insufficient measure of the joy we have been given." -Suzanne Clothier

health & wellness 7 Top Tips for Helping Older Pets

S

ometimes the simplest things can make

a huge difference. Here are some of our

favorite tips and tricks for helping older animals:

1. Lose the Weight!

Obesity is a huge problem in pets just as it is in humans. It causes joint problems, diabetes, pain and breathing issues. While it might be tempting

to treat your older pet to his favorite treat, he will thank you more for managing his weight,

3. Use a cookie sheet for a litter pan

The high walled litter box that keeps the litter neatly inside may be very difficult for your older kitty to manage. Observe your cat to see if she is struggling climbing in or out or if she is having litter box issues. Try a disposable cookie sheet for a litter box so your cat can easily step in and out.

giving him a healthy, pain-free, active lifestyle.

4. Help your dog with traction on slippery floors

2. Raise the Bowls

mats work well for small areas), keeping nails

Bending to the ground for food and water can

put a lot of strain on joints. We want to encour-

age eating and drinking especially in our older companions so making the bowls more accessible is often helpful. You can purchase raised

bowls, or simply put the bowls on a stack of books.

short, and trimming fur between foot pads can all help with traction and provide your senior pet with more stability.

5. Make sure you have good bedding

Older pets spend more time

resting and sleeping. They are

often "bonier" than their younger

counterparts and have a more dif-

ficult time healing. Choosing the right bedding for your pet can

make a huge difference in their

comfort. Imagine how you would

feel if you slept on the floor, ver-

sus in your own bed. Now imagine

Older bodies are more prone to pressure sores,

which are more difficult to heal than when they were younger. There are many, many kinds of

bedding available. We particularly like those

made from memory foam, high loft fleece, and soft fabrics. But deeper isn't necessarily better! Choose a bed that suits your animal - too deep

and it may be difficult for him to get on and off or may feel unstable.

6. Use a Probiotic

Digestion problems often come with age. A

good probiotic given daily can help your pet digest her food and stay regular.

7. Add a joint supplement

There are many wonderful joint supplements
