Just like their humans, pets can experience age-related diseases like arthritis, cancer, or heart disease. If you have a pet experiencing pain due to aging, there are a few ways you can make them more comfortable and improve their quality of life as they age.

1.      Add Supplements to Their Diet

Many age-related diseases in pets are caused by oxidative stress and inflammation. You can support your pet’s health by adding high-potency antioxidant supplements like carbon 60 to their diet.

C60 is one of the most powerful antioxidant compounds available. The unique spherical structure means it can absorb and neutralize free radicals up to 170 times its molecular weight.

Add 1-2 pumps of Vitality C60 Pets Olive Oil to your pet’s meal once per day to improve joint health, slow cognitive decline, and reduce inflammation.

2.      Keep Them Active

Although your dog may not go on 5-mile uphill hikes anymore, a gentle walk around the block can help prevent the joints and muscles from weakening and maintain their range of motion.

Activity is also crucial for cats and small pets like rabbits or hamsters. Provide them with stimulating activities they can enjoy within their physical capabilities. Rotate their toys weekly to keep them engaged. If your cat struggles to climb their cat tower, provide them with a tunnel or low scratching post.

3.      Outfit Your Home with Accessible Features

Senior dogs and cats may struggle to climb stairs, jump up on the bed or sofa, or use the litter box due to osteoarthritis or other joint issues.

Adding a padded ramp in front of your sofa or bed can ease the pressure on their joints, while safety gates at the top and bottom of your stairs prevent them from taking a fall. Invest in a litter box with a low entrance for easier accessibility for senior cats.

Help Your Pet Enjoy a Long and Happy Life

In addition to supplementing your pet’s food with Vitality C60, ensure that you increase the frequency of their vet visits and pay careful attention to changes in their behavior; pets often try to hide illness or injury.

By making a few modifications around your home and adjusting your pet’s routine, you can ensure they enjoy life to the fullest.
