\"\"<\/a>You and your furbaby have enjoyed ten glorious years together.\u00a0\u00a0 You’ve watched her grow from a frisky little pup learning to potty train\u00a0 to learning to sit on command after snagging more than a handful of\u00a0 treats. Sure you’ve had your moments like when she ran away and you\u00a0 spent three hours combing your neighborhood only to find her patiently\u00a0 waiting at your doorstep. She’s been a constant companion in your life\u00a0 and the one who dutifully sat by your side when you were laid up in bed\u00a0 with the flu. But lately, she seems to be slowing down and napping for\u00a0 increasingly longer periods of time.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Of course at 10 years old, with each dog year being equal to about\u00a0 seven human years, your furbaby is the ripe old age of 70 and you want\u00a0 to make sure she lives out the remaining time she has left in the most\u00a0 joyous way. Dr. Ernie Ward, author of Chow Hounds: Why Our Dogs Are Getting Fatter – A Vet’s Plan to Save Their Lives<\/em><\/strong> (2010 HCI) and owner, chief-of-staff at Seaside Animal Care in Calabash, North Carolina, recommends that pet parents be mindful of a host of\u00a0 potential\u00a0 health issues their senior pet’s caretaker.<\/p>\n

“While we may still view our eight-year old Lab as our “puppy” the\u00a0 reality is she is undergoing many of the same physical changes of a\u00a0 50-year old person,” says Dr. Ward.”Simple changes in nutrition and\u00a0 lifestyle can make a huge difference in preventing age-related diseases\u00a0 and preserving quality of life.”<\/p>\n

The definition of a senior pet<\/strong><\/p>\n

Historically, any pet over age seven is considered a\u00a0 senior pet, says Dr. Ward. In strict physiological terms, giant breed\u00a0 dogs over age five should be considered senior and toy breeds and cats\u00a0 over age nine are viewed as senior pets. The differences in ages are due\u00a0 to the rate of physiological changes in certain breeds; giant breeds\u00a0 age faster.<\/p>\n

Senior pets need specialized diets<\/strong><\/p>\n

As dogs and cats age so do their nutrient requirements and ability to\u00a0 digest certain foods, notes Dr. Ward.\u00a0 If your pet is over seven years\u00a0 old, it’s important to talk to your veterinarian about switching to a\u00a0 diet specially-formulated for older pets.<\/p>\n

“Senior pets need less fat and carbohydrates and more highly\u00a0 digestible proteins,” says Dr. Ward. “For example, older cats actually\u00a0 require higher amounts of protein because studies show their ability to\u00a0 digest proteins deteriorates as they age. In general, older pets need\u00a0 fewer calories because they’re less active and begin to lose muscle\u00a0 mass.”<\/p>\n

Diet and supplements <\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr. Ward recommends that pet parents give their\u00a0 senior pet low or no-grain, higher protein diets for older cats and\u00a0 highly digestible, low-fat diets for dogs. And since nutritional gaps\u00a0 and cellular damage can accelerate as pets\u00a0 age due to genetics,\u00a0 pollutants and illness, Dr. Ward advises giving nutritional supplements\u00a0 such as omega-3 fatty acids (fish oils), glucosamine\/chondroitin\u00a0 sulfate, and a good multi-vitamin (especially B vitamins and vitamins A,\u00a0 D, E, and K, biotin and beta-carotene) to almost every older pet. He\u00a0 also prescribes SAM-e, silybin\/milk thistle, superoxide dismutase (SOD)\u00a0 and probiotics to many senior pets to combat age changes.<\/p>\n

Preventative medical care: What you need to know<\/strong><\/p>\n

Start testing at seven years old.<\/strong> Changes in kidney,\u00a0 liver and pancreatic function, arthritis, cataracts, heart disease and\u00a0 high blood pressure are more common in older pets. To diagnose a disease\u00a0 in the early stages requires consistent examinations and lab tests. As\u00a0 soon as your pet turns seven, pet parents should ask for basic blood and\u00a0 urine tests, even if their pet appears perfectly healthy. The value of\u00a0 routine testing is that it establishes baselines for future reference.<\/p>\n

“I recently saw a nine-year old cat for a routine visit,” says Dr.\u00a0 Ward. “The owner reported her cat was in excellent health yet our test\u00a0 results showed an increase in two kidney enzymes from the previous year.\u00a0 While the kidney values were still within normal limits, the change\u00a0 alerted me to a potential problem. Additional tests confirmed early\u00a0 kidney disease. If not for the previous test results, we would’ve never\u00a0 diagnosed kidney disease at this early stage. ”<\/p>\n

Bottom line:<\/strong> The money you spend on routine\u00a0 diagnostic tests may save you big bucks in the future and add years of\u00a0 life to your pet. Never ignore that tiny voice telling you “something\u00a0 isn’t right.” If you suspect something – anything – is wrong with a pet\u00a0 over age 7, have it checked out.<\/p>\n
