For as long as I can remember we have always have had pets from kittens and puppies to rabbits and hamsters. We were always very lucky that most of our pets lived long healthy lives into their elder years. Caring for our pets and giving them the right food during each stage of their life is very important for optimal health.
As our pets age their needs change, they are more susceptible to loss of lean body tissue, a weakened immune system, along with reduced metabolic rate and increased dental concerns. We once had a beautiful cat that I rescued from the local humane society were they didn't know her age they guessed about 7+ as her teeth were so bad but they also weren't sure if this was also from malnutrition. This could have been prevented with the right food and healthcare. This little princess spent 3 years with us and was loved every minute.
