Aging Problems with Cats and Dogs

My cat has been treated at Brick Town Veterinary Hospital and I can attest to being satisfied with the service rendered. The office is located at: 251 Chambers Bridge Road in Brick (Tel: 732-477-9440). They send me emails with information about pets. The most recent one was titled: 5 Health Concerns to Watch for as Your Pet Ages.

Dogs and cats are said to age five to seven times faster than people. They also tend to hide signs of sickness. I did not know that cats become seniors at 11 years of age. The five age related problems are: arthritis, kidney problems, diabetes, dental problems and behavioral problems. Symptoms of diabetes include fatigue, urinary accidents, a lot of drinking, weight loss and vomiting. In addition to teeth problems dental problems also encompass gum problems and bad breath.
