It seems that many pet owners give up on older pets. They seem to give in to the fact that their dog (or other pet) is simply getting too old and they accept that the pet's quality of life cannot be improved. Soon the owner either decides to simply watch as the dog ages slowly and finally dies or the owner may even make the decision to have the animal 'put to sleep'.
This scenario is played out thousands of times daily. But the truth is that strategic wellness care can often prevent many of the chronic diseases that accompany aging. And if these diseases are caught early, in most cases, they can be managed for several years in a way that allows the pet to live a normal or near normal life.
Wellness protocols are always important for pets of all ages, but as dogs get older the wellness care takes on an increased priority. By the time the animals reach 7 or 8 years of age wellness care is absolutely vital to the prevention of the chronic problems associated with old age.
