Saving Senior Dogs Week
Rodrigo has a partial cruciate tear. We're going to allow it to heal naturally and, after yesterday, he can only go outside on leash because he won't stop running.
I love that he's so active at 12-1/2 years. He's definitely slowing down, but he's not old.
Diet Changes for My Senior Dog
Technically, Rodrigo is classified as geriatric and Zoey is our resident senior, but let's focus on Rodrigo.
Last year, he stopped eating raw. I began heating up his food and he had some interest for a short time but a few months later, he would only eat cooked food.
Today, he alternates between raw and cooked. I began heating up everyone's food after Scout's vet made the recommendation last spring. It's a hit. A Pup Above is his favorite.
Supplement Changes for My Senior Dog
I switched Rodrigo to YuMove Senior Joint Supplement. His rear legs were weakening and this supplement has been a positive addition to his diet (I saw improvements within 48 hours). My other dogs still get WINPRO joint supplement.
I'm also focusing more on gut health with products by:
Saving Senior Dogs Week
So, why am I talking about senior dogs? .
This week, Canna-Pet marked down all products by 35%.
I stock up on their treats whenever there's a sale and I give my dogs a cookie each evening to support their gut health. The CBD heads straight to the gut
and does it's magic there. #healthyguthealthydog
Not only do they help my dogs' gut health, they promote calming, alleviate pain, and make my
dogs happy - who doesn't love a treat?
