Vet-approved answers to your senior pet questions

When is my pet considered a senior?

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.

How often should senior pets see the vet?

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

What are common health problems in older pets?

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

Should I change my pet’s diet as they get older?

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.

How can I tell if my senior pet is in pain?

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.’

Do older pets need supplements?

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

Because age is just a number

Senior pets deserve a little extra care. From supplements to targeted health support, ageing pet products can help keep them feeling comfortable, active and full of character.
