When is my pet considered a senior, and what changes can I expect?

The definition of a senior pet varies depending on their size and breed. Generally, dogs and cats are considered seniors around 7-10 years old. As pets age, they may experience changes in their energy levels, mobility, and sensory functions. You might notice that they become less active, develop joint stiffness, or have changes in their vision and hearing. With our expert guidance, we'll help you navigate these changes and ensure your pet receives the support they need.
