Just as with humans, the aging process cannot be stopped in our pets – but with optimal medical care, it can be delayed and its consequences mitigated. The quality of life can be significantly improved. The earlier a disease is diagnosed, the better.
The sooner the problem is recognized, the more successful the treatment will be. Since the aging process, which begins as early as 7–8 years of age depending on the breed, often first manifests itself in behavioral changes, close observation of the animal by its owner is essential. These behavioral changes are often not detectable by us veterinarians in practice.
Here we depend on your observations and explanations. These behavioral changes that can be observed can be seen, for example, in
- reduced temperament
- reduced sociability
- changed sleeping habits
- Disorientation
- reduced house cleanliness
- changed eating behavior
However, many changes can only be detected or diagnosed with certainty with a blood test. Changes in the organs thyroid, kidney, liver, etc. can be detected and treated in the early stages with a blood test.
The majority of these age-related changes can be treated gently and effectively in the early stages through naturopathic treatment.
In this way you can visibly delay the aging process.
If you have noticed any changes in your older pet and are concerned, please contact us and we will be happy to advise you.
