Think proactive care for adult dogs

After your dog has matured into adulthood, don't forget that they still need regular activity and enrichment to help keep them healthy in mind and body. Some breeds require a lot more daily exercise than others, so it's a good idea to learn about your dog's specific needs. And just like humans, dogs can benefit from regular checkups, too. Your veterinarian can help you keep on track with all necessary vaccinations, parasite prevention, dental exams and more - so any potential signs of health issues can be detected and treated before they become serious problems.

Daily supplements can also play an important role in your adult dog's proactive care. NaturVet's All-In-One Adult Daily Care is a 10-in-1 soft chew supplement designed to support adult dogs with targeted benefits including joint health, digestion, immunity, skin and coat health and more. Featuring the delicious Hickory Smoked Bacon flavor dogs love and the exclusive dental care ingredient PlaqueOff®, this supplement helps support your four-legged friend's overall health and well-being throughout their adulthood.

As your dog ages, it's vital to stay vigilant for any changes in their behavior, such as activity level and appetite, that may indicate health concerns. While you'll still want to keep your dog as active as possible based upon their comfort level, you may notice they need to slow down over time. At this stage, it's more important than ever to stay on top of regular vet visits.

One key area to watch for with senior dogs is dehydration. While staying hydrated is important for all dogs, including puppies, senior dogs may be less likely to feel the urge to drink, or may forget to drink. Supplying clean, fresh water and encouraging your dog to drink often is advised. Familiarize yourself with signs of dehydration, such as loss of skin elasticity or appetite, panting and a dry nose, and contact your veterinarian if you suspect your dog may be dehydrated.
