While age itself is not a disease, our older companion animals are at risk for various disease conditions. Proper nutrition for senior pets can help prevent various disease processes, as well as, provide supportive care for certain diseases that are already present. Examples of this would be kidney disease, heart disease, and even arthritis.
If your senior pet is showing any early-stage signs of a disease or health concern proper nutrition is a wonderful tool to utilize as an early intervention before needing to move towards prescription medications. Please do not hesitate to ask us about the diets we carry that are formulated for senior pets or for specific disease process support.
