November Is National Senior Pet Month

Celebrating National Senior Pet Month: Love, Care & Comfort for Our Aging Companions

November is National Senior Pet Month — a time to celebrate the loyal dogs and cats who have shared our homes, hearts, and countless memories over the years. Just like people, pets’ needs change as they age, and a little extra care goes a long way in keeping them comfortable and happy.

Simple things like softer bedding, gentle walks, and regular wellness checkups can make all the difference. Senior pets often thrive with routine, patience, and a touch more TLC — and in return, they give us a special kind of love that only comes with years of companionship.

Physical and mental exercise is critically important for senior dogs and cats. Senior cats can benefit from interactive toys and food puzzles to keep them entertained and to burn excess calories. While senior dogs may not be able to go on long, strenuous runs or hikes, shorter gentle walks can help keep your dog lean and in good health.

If your schedule prevents you from regularly exercising your pets, contact us to provide dog walks or cat visits. At Wildwood Petcare, we’re honored to care for pets through every stage of life. This month, we invite you to give your senior pet some extra love — an extra cuddle, a favorite treat, or a slow stroll in the sunshine. They’ve earned it.
