Love Your Pet Day With Senior Dogs

February 16, 2022
Dogs are completely adorable as puppies, but they really are cute at every age. They also have a special way of getting even more charming as they age. As your canine buddy grows older, he’ll still be the same faithful, loyal pet as always, but his care needs will change a little. Given that Love Your Pet Day is coming up on the 20th, this is a great time to show your furry friend some extra attention. Read on as a local Spring Hill, TN vet offers some cute ways to get that tail wagging on this special day.

Treats

No matter how old Fido gets, he’ll never outgrow his love of treats. Give your four-legged buddy something extra special, like a plain burger or even a steak. Just be sure to stick with things that you know are safe.

Massage

Fido may get quite stiff and sore in his golden years, particularly if he develops bone/joint issues, such as hip dysplasia or arthritis. A soothing massage can help get the kinks out of his muscles, restoring his range of motion and just helping him feel better.

Pawdicure

Did you know that overgrown nails are a big concern with older dogs? Fido can’t get good traction if his nails are too long. Plus, overgrown nails are uncomfortable for your pooch to walk on. That may cause him to hold his weight differently, which is bad for his bones and joints! Give those furry feet some attention!

Grooming Session

Your canine pal will be much more comfortable if his coat is clean and free of dust, tangles, and dead fur. Carve out some time for a doggy beauty session!

New Bed

There’s something truly heartwarming about seeing a senior dog snoozing peacefully. Has Fido’s bed seen better days? If so, get him a new one. It’s important for your pup to be able to sleep comfortably at night.

Veterinary Care

Just like people, dogs need a bit more medical attention and care as they age. If Fido hasn’t seen his doctor for a while, make him an appointment.

Cuddles

Fido really just wants to hang out with you. Spend some quality time with your furry best friend. Time spent with dogs is never wasted! As your local Spring Hill, TN animal clinic, we are dedicated to offering great veterinary care. Call us today!
