Aging pets are often vigorous and happy, but they can require a little extra vigilance. As pets age, little problems can become big ones in a hurry. Here are some suggestions for managing age-related concerns:

  • Annual check-ups and blood work
  • An appropriate senior diet
  • Supplements such as glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM to promote ease of movement
  • A good exercise plan
