There are many ways you can turn your home into a comfortable retirement villa for your elderly pet.
• For vision issues- keep the lights on in dark hallways and stairs and resist the urge to move furniture around.
• For ambulatory issues- keep them on one level without any stairs, use ramps when necessary, and utilize raised feeding bowls, and orthopedic beds with extra padding for all those achy joints.
• Add non-slip throw rugs for slick hard surface floors and remove any tripping hazards.
• Consider installing a doggy door so they can go out and take care of business whenever they please, as bladders become less patient with age.
Our veterinary team can advise on even more accommodations based on your pet’s specific needs.
Retirement living never sounded so good!
