As winter\u2019s biting cold sets in, your senior pet may struggle with the cold more than usual\u2014especially considering older pets often do not handle temperature extremes well. The dry, cold air may cause achy joints to flare up, while icy walkways can make potty breaks treacherous. Help keep your senior pet warm, comfortable, and safe this season with the following tips. Senior Pet Safety Tips.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

1) Consider an orthopedic bed<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Your floors, where your pet likely naps if they are not allowed on your bed or can no longer leap onto the couch, are the coldest part of your home. Instead of expecting your senior pet to rest on the cold, hard floor, offer them a supportive orthopedic bed. <\/span><\/p>\n

This will help cushion sore joints, retain warmth, and make getting up and down easier. Ensure the bed has a cover that can be washed if your pet has an accident. For large dogs, a crib mattress is ideal since it is water-proof, and fitted sheets can easily be changed out after an accident.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2) Keep your pet warm inside\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Senior pets cannot regulate their body temperature well. As a result, they become chilled more easily than younger animals. Watch your senior pet\u2019s behavior\u2014if they rest near heating vents or in front of the fireplace, they obviously enjoy being warm and cozy. Consider running a tip-proof, pet-safe space heater near your pet\u2019s favorite resting spot. Try keeping your thermostat set at a comfortable temperature all day too, instead of lowering it when you are at work.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Senior pets are also at higher risk for developing hypothermia in cold weather. Bundle your pet in a coat that will insulate them from the cold before they head out for a potty break or a daily walk.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3) Create clear walkways\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Your senior pet may not be so steady on their feet, and snow and ice can make their trips outside downright dangerous. Keep your porch, sidewalk, or patio clear of ice and snow. This can help prevent a nasty fall that could result in a broken bone or dislocated hip. <\/span><\/p>\n

Shovel a spot in the yard, or cover a grassy area with a large sheet of plywood that you can lift up for your pet to have a clear spot to do their business. If you notice more accidents than normal during the winter, your pet may remember slippery surfaces from past winters, and be hesitant to venture outside. You may need to carry them out, or support them with a leash or harness.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4) Monitor for signs of arthritis\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

You\u2019ve probably heard older people say they can feel the cold in their bones\u2014and pets are no different. Cold temperatures may cause your pet\u2019s arthritis to flare up and the typical measures may not comfort their previously controlled inflammation. <\/span><\/p>\n

If you notice your senior pet limping, struggling to rise, or walking stiffly, they are likely in pain. <\/span>Speak with your family veterinarian about joint supplements, anti-inflammatories, and pain medications that may help. A number of complementary therapies, including acupuncture, laser therapy, and therapeutic exercises may also alleviate your pet\u2019s pain. Book an animal massage therapist<\/a><\/span> on Petworks<\/a><\/span> to give your beloved relief from the pain.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

5) Protect your pup\u2019s paws\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Although your pet\u2019s paws are covered by thick skin, they are still susceptible to injuries, peeling, and abrasions. The cold, dry air that leaves humans hands dry and cracked in the winter can also damage pets’ paw pads. Ice and salt further contribute to paw injuries, and can lead to painful cracks and fissures. To protect your pet\u2019s feet, use booties or apply a protective coating, such as Musher\u2019s Secret, before heading outside.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If your senior pet has a debilitating condition, it may worsen during the winter. This may require you to make difficult decisions about their final days. You may choose to support your pet with hospice care, in home pet euthanasia<\/a><\/span>, or seek help through tele-advice services. At Lap of Love, we are here for you every step of the way, supporting you when your beloved pet’s life has to end.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
