Caring for older pets

Thanks to advances in veterinary care and pet foods our pets are living longer healthier lives. Supplements can also help pets to maintain good health in their senior years. Most people are familiar with glucosamine supplements for joints and some pet owners will be taking them themselves. Studies have demonstrated the benefits to pets when given along side anti-inflammatory medication and in some cases the supplements have been as effective as prescription non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medication. Generally supplements are safe and without side effects, however we would always recommend seeking veterinary advice before giving any supplements to your pet.
We stock a very large range of supplements containing glucosamine available in liquid, tablet, powder, paste and tasty treat formulations to suit all tastes:

Joint supplements for CATS
Joint supplements for DOGS
Joint supplements for HORSES

As dogs and cats grow older the brain can become damaged by free radicals which can cause biological and physical damage to the brain tissue. This can lead to behavioural changes such as disorientation, inappropriate vocalisation, loss of house training or litterbox training, irregular sleep patterns and reduced/altered interaction. Combined with a programme of correct feeding and exercise supplements such as AKTIVAIT can improve your pet’s vitality and energy; improve memory and mental alertness and increase your pet’s lifespan by 10-20%:

Aktivait for cats
Aktivait for medium and large dogs
Aktivait for small dogs

Your veterinary surgeon is the best person to advise you on the most appropriate supplements for your pet. If you are concerned your pet is showing any age related changes it may indicate an underlying medical problem and delaying proper veterinary treatment may cause harm to your pet.
