CARING FOR YOUR AGING PETS

As our furry companions grow older, we want to ensure they live the best and healthiest life possible. The senior years of our cats and dogs can present various health challenges that require special attention, including joint pain, decreased mobility and changes in dietary needs. 

THE AGING PROCESS IN PETS

As cats and dogs age, their bodies undergo various changes that can affect their health and well-being. Just like humans, senior pets are more prone to illnesses and diseases. Given this, it’s critical to be vigilant about their health and seek regular veterinary check-ups.

Decreased Mobility

One of the most common issues that senior pets experience is joint pain and decreased mobility. This can be due to arthritis, or other degenerative conditions that affect the joints and bones. 

Providing joint supplements and regular exercise can help alleviate some of the pain and discomfort, and maintain mobility.

Dietary Needs

As our pets age, they require less calories as their metabolism slows down. At the same time, may need more protein and nutrients to maintain muscle mass and bone density. 

Choosing a high-quality, senior-specific diet can help ensure your pet gets the nutrition they need.

Gut Issues

One of the most significant changes to our pets as they age is the composition of their gut microbiome. These changes can affect their digestive health, immune function and overall quality of life. 

Adding a high-quality, high-potency probiotic, such as Visbiome, to your pet’s diet can provide numerous health benefits and help them age more gracefully. 

WHAT IS VISBIOME?

Visbiome is a high-potency probiotic supplement that contains a combination of beneficial bacteria strains, including Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium. These two strains are essential for maintaining a healthy gut environment, supporting digestion and strengthening the immune system. 

The Benefits of Adding Visbiome to Your Aging Pet’s Diet

• Improves overall digestion – promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria that can help alleviate diarrhea, constipation and gas.
• Boosts the immune system – can help stimulate the immune system, improving its function and reducing the risk of illness (crucial for aging pets with weaker immune systems.
• Reduces inflammation – can help reduce inflammation in the gut, reducing the risk of chronic inflammation-related diseases.
• Promotes healthy weight – aging pets experience slower metabolism which can lead to obesity (increase risk of diabetes, heart disease and joint pain).

With proper care and attention, you can help your pet age gracefully and enjoy their golden years to the fullest using the tips provided.
