You have shared many wonderful years with your cat and you can’t help wanting to make the years to come the best yet. How can you care for her now that she’s considered a senior?

Your pet’s body changes as she gets older, so she will need you to take note of what’s happening and adjust your care accordingly. Keep an eye out for changes to your pet’s routine, like a preference to rest more often or having trouble getting up to her favorite places and try to help her out. This may mean augmenting games so they are a bit easier on your pet’s body and offering her some assistance so she can still enjoy her favorite areas in your home. Caring for her at this age simply means being vigilant and assessing her needs regularly to ensure you are meeting them.  For additional information, please contact your local veterinarian Portage, MI.
