Pet Care Tips For Senior Dogs

Pet Care Tips For Senior DogsFor most of us, a dog is part of the family and can go to any extent to ensure their well-being. Just like puppies, senior dogs need special care. While age may cause difficulties in walking, sore joints, irritability, vulnerability to diseases, dementia, and other conditions, there are still steps any owner can take to comfort an aging pet.

PREPARE A NUTRITIOUS DIET

Without a doubt, proper nutrition is essential for dogs of all stages. However, a senior dog will need a nutritious diet to keep him healthy and active. Age renders a dog less active, and the caloric needs drop. As such, you have to cut on the caloric portions and focus more on a well-balanced diet. Also, you can enrich your dog’s food with fatty acids, omega 3 and other supplements.

Dogs with certain conditions will also require special diets. For instance, a dog diagnosed with heart disease will need a diet with no or low sodium levels. If your dog has kidney disease, go for foods that help to keep calcium and phosphorus levels in check.

Our veterinarians have substantial education in nutrition. They are skilled to counsel you in diets from all life stages, from puppy/kitten to the Senior years and everything in between. Be sure to ask about our Nutritional Counseling.

ARRANGE FOR FREQUENT WALKS

Age makes a dog less mobile posing the risk of arthritis, weight gain, and other conditions associated with inactivity. The solution to the problem is to walk your dog regularly to keep him active and prevent illnesses. Due to age, short walks around the block may be sufficient exercise.

FREQUENT CHECKUPS BY YOUR VETERINARIAN

Experts recommend that you have senior dogs checked by a vet at least once every six months. That way, any illness can be diagnosed early and treated if possible. Hearing problems are likely to arise with age and are not treatable. A veterinary can correct the hearing loss if they result from ear-canal inflammation or discharge. In the same vein, loss of vision may be a result of the age whereby the lens is unaffected or cataracts. Your vet should tell the difference.

OBSERVE ORAL HYGIENE

Dental care for your dog is critical for preventing gum disease that leads to aching and falling of teeth. A veterinary will advise on the best way to clean your dog. You can consider buying a toothbrush designed for dogs, to make oral hygiene a routine. Also, get some chewing toys, water additives to reduce plaque.

KEEP INFECTIOUS AND PARASITIC DISEASES AFAR

Parasites including fleas, heartworms, and ticks will the advantage of your dog’s inactivity and attack severely. As such, the routine for vaccinations may need to change. Approach your vet for advice on the best vaccinations and the administration intervals for the best results. Check more detailed information from this dog tick guide.

SCHEDULE REGULAR GROOMING

As hinted above, a senior dog will become less active and may tend to adopt a sedentary life. While sitting and sleeping all day, you’re likely to discover the matting of hair and long nails. Regular grooming allows for the growth of new hair and skin while simultaneously allowing for inspections.

Hollow: 微观宇宙

在1990-2005年之间,全球森林以每年1300万公顷的速度迅速消失(Greenfacts,2005)。十年之后,地球更拥挤,森林更稀缺。至于一百年后,也许人类已经踏上殖民另一个星球的旅程。
Between year 1990 to 2005, the global forest was shrinking at a rate of 13 million hectares per year (Greenfacts,2005). Ten years later, the earth is much crowded while the forest is scarcer. Maybe in the next 100 years, human will be on the journey to collonise another planet.

The Lamp of Sacrifice:人们需要的不仅是教堂

01-nanthn coley根据苏格兰艺术家Nathan Coley对2004年爱丁堡通讯录“宗教”一栏的统计,全市共有286个教堂、寺庙、清真寺等宗教场所。艺术家和小伙伴们历时三个月走访全市各个角落,把286个宗教建筑制作成纸板模型放在同一个屋檐下,变成了震撼人心的装置艺术作品‘The Lamp of Sacrifice, 286 Places of Worship, Edinburgh 2004’。

当建筑被缩小、地理位置被打乱,建筑的属性也发生了变化。艺术家希望借此探讨价值观与建筑,建筑与环境之间的关系。

目前‘The Lamp of Sacrifice, 286 Places of Worship, Edinburgh 2004’正在格拉斯哥当代美术馆展出。展览时间:2014年5月15日-2015年2月1日。
