Understanding the Aging Process  <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Understanding how your pet ages is key to their care. Most dogs and cats live between 10 and 20 years, though this varies by size and breed. Smaller dogs and cats often live into their late teens, while larger breeds, like Great Danes, may have a shorter lifespan.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Generally, pets are considered to be senior around seven years of age. By recognizing this milestone, you can take proactive steps to prioritize senior pet wellness and address age-related changes before they become significant issues.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
