Senior Pets

Cats and dogs are generally considered senior from around 7 years of age, though this can vary by breed and size. Larger dogs may reach senior status sooner than smaller breeds.

We recommend a vet check every six months. Senior pets can develop health issues more quickly, and regular visits help catch changes early.

Common issues include arthritis, dental disease, kidney problems, heart conditions, and cognitive decline. Regular monitoring and early intervention are key.

Yes – senior pets often benefit from age-specific diets that support joint health, digestion, weight management, and organ function. Speak to your vet for tailored advice.

Look for subtle signs such as reluctance to move, stiffness, changes in appetite, increased sleeping, or behavioural changes. Never assume slowing down is just ‘old age.’

They may benefit from joint, digestive, or cognitive support supplements. Always speak to your vet before introducing anything new.
