CATERING TO EVERY STAGE
It is important that every stage of development is properly taken care of over a pet’s life
time and through products on the market, owners are able to clearly see what actions they
should be doing for every step
J
ust as people have different needs at different ages,
so do pets - but this is not something all pet owners
are aware of. It is probably quite obvious that a young
animal would need extra care and certain nutrients
to help them with their development, but that specified care should
carry on through all ages.
The needs of an ageing pet can be overlooked by many but this is
something owners can not afford to do. Thanks to scientific research,
the trade’s improved knowledge of diets and the success of the
veterinary sector, pets are living longer than they used to. However,
as with any living thing in its later stages of life, health declines and
certain actions are required to maintain a good quality of life.
For many pets, this may require a change of diets to foods with
different nutrients and ingredients, as well as foods which are easily
digested. It will also be important for pet owners to monitor their
pet’s weight more closely as not only are overweight and obese
pets generally more prone to certain illnesses but an ageing pet
be less mobile and its ageing body will make it more susceptible to
certain conditions and less able to fight them off due to a weakened
immune system.
Have a look at those in the trade ensuring to cater to the needs of
pets of every and any age.
