Senior Pet Vitality & Daily Care Guide

When Senior Pets Tire More Easily

Older dogs and cats may sleep more, move at a gentler pace or take longer to recover after activity. Track changes in appetite, body weight, thirst, breathing, movement and enthusiasm. A simple weekly note can make gradual changes easier to recognise.

Do not assume every change is simply ageing. Sudden, severe, painful or persistent symptoms need veterinary assessment.

Build a Consistent, Comfortable Day

Keep meals, gentle movement, rest and medication times predictable. Provide non-slip walking surfaces, easy access to water and comfortable resting areas. For dogs, shorter walks may be more manageable than one demanding outing. For cats, place key resources within easy reach.

Use Weight-Appropriate Feeding

Choose a complete diet appropriate for your senior pet’s species, size, weight and health needs. Monitor portions and body condition rather than relying on age alone. Discuss unexplained weight change, altered appetite or current medication with a veterinarian before adding a supplement.

Everyday Heart and Nutritional Support

A daily supplement should be easy to give consistently and fit the pet’s existing routine. PurePaws VitalCare PRO combines everyday eye, heart, skin and coat support in a salmon-flavoured soft chew for dogs and cats. Its confirmed heart-support blend includes CoQ10, DHA from algae oil, krill and salmon powder.

Follow the product’s weight-based feeding guide and remember that nutritional support does not replace veterinary diagnosis, prescribed medication or treatment.
