Growing old gracefully is something most of us aspire to, and we want the same for our pets. The aging process, while not a disease itself, comes with inherent risks, not to mention the effects of wear and tear on the body. This is why preventive medicine is important in keeping your furry one healthy, no matter what their age.

Your friends at Long Animal Hospital and Emergency Center are here to give you some insight into why senior pet care should be a priority for the best life for your fur friend.

Someday we may become scientifically astute enough to halt the aging process, but as a society we are not there yet. While many of us long for our youth, the reminder of getting older is much more visible on a day to day basis when we look at the animals in our life.

Pets age much more quickly than people, and often the process seems to unfold before our very eyes. Fortunately, we can help to prolong and better the lives of senior pets better than ever before. Properly caring for your aging pet is no small feat, but the staff at Long Animal Hospital is prepared to help you along the way.
