Mobility & Joint Support
Changes in movement can make everyday routes around the home more challenging for older pets. Mobility aids and joint-care options are worth considering in the context of your pet’s individual needs.
What to consider
Consider your pet’s size, the stability of any aid, and how easily it fits into their daily routine. Discuss joint concerns and supplements with your veterinarian.

Nutrition & Feeding
Food and feeding routines can look different as dogs and cats age. The right choice depends on the individual pet, their preferences, and any health considerations.
What to consider
Look at species, food texture, portion needs, and ease of access to bowls. Ask your veterinarian about changes to your pet’s diet.
03 / Senior pet care
Cognitive Health & Enrichment
Gentle play and opportunities to explore can be part of a senior pet’s daily routine. Activities can be adapted to their senses, energy, and interests.
What to consider
Choose activities that suit your pet’s abilities and supervise use. Introduce something new gradually, and talk to your veterinarian about changes in behavior.

Skin & Coat Care
Coat and skin needs can change with age, and regular observation can help you notice changes. Care products should be appropriate for the species and individual pet.
What to consider
Check product directions and ingredients, and ask your veterinarian about persistent itching, irritation, or changes in the skin or coat.

Dental Care
At-home dental care can be part of a broader routine for older pets. Options vary in how they are used and whether they suit a particular dog or cat.
What to consider
Choose products intended for your pet’s species and size, and discuss a comfortable dental-care routine with your veterinarian.
06 / Senior pet care
Comfort & Sleep
A comfortable, accessible resting place can be a useful part of a senior pet’s daily environment. Think about where your pet likes to sleep and how easily they can settle in.
What to consider
Consider the bed’s size, entry height, support, and washable materials, along with your pet’s usual sleeping position.
07 / Senior pet care
Grooming & Hygiene
Gentle grooming and a manageable hygiene routine can make everyday care easier for pets and their families as needs change.
What to consider
Look for tools and supplies suited to your pet’s coat, size, and comfort. Keep sessions gentle and ask for help if grooming becomes uncomfortable.

Everyday Senior Pet Essentials
Small adjustments to familiar routines can make a home easier to navigate for an aging dog or cat. Everyday essentials should fit the pet and the way your household works.
What to consider
Notice where your pet rests, eats, and moves throughout the day. Consider accessibility, ease of cleaning, and practical use in your home.
