Senior Pet Mobility

 
 
 

We believe all senior pets can be super!

Senior pets often face mobility issues as they age. These issues can affect their quality of life and require special attention and care from their owners. Here are some common mobility issues in senior pets:

Arthritis: Arthritis is one of the most common mobility issues in senior pets. It causes joint inflammation, pain, and stiffness.

Muscle Weakness: Senior pets may experience muscle atrophy, which leads to weakness.

Balance and Coordination: Aging can affect a pet's balance and coordination, leading to falls or difficulty moving around.

Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome (CDS): Senior pets can experience cognitive decline, which may affect their mobility indirectly through disorientation or confusion.

Vision and Hearing Loss: Sensory impairments, such as vision and hearing loss, can make mobility more challenging.

Remember, every senior pet is unique, and their mobility issues may vary. Your Rehabilitation Practitioner will be able to create a tailored plan to address your pet's specific needs and improve their quality of life during their golden years.
