Older Dogs

Old Age presents its own special problems as body tissues become tired and worn. Kidney function deteriorates causing uraemia, the liver is less able to detoxify the blood, the heart and circulation are less able to respond to demand and arthritis starts as the joints wear and the muscles stiffen. As the immune system becomes less efficient, the likelihood of one of the cancers becoming a problem increases.

But this doesn't all need to be a disaster story. We recommend Vitamin and especially Mineral supplements in all our older patients. In renal failure, Ipakitine can help reduce hyperphospataemia. Specific anti oxidants and hepatic nutraceuticals help support ageing livers, and a tired old heart can find extra reserves of energy with the addition of and L-Carnitine and and CoEnzyme Q10.
The benefits of adding and Glucosamine and Chondroitin to the diet are well known, and we now routinely supplement our senior dogs who have immune or neoplasia (cancer) problems with and DiMethyl Glycine and and Mycoplex Coriolus.

And as for those Senior Moments...

As the brain ages, your pet becomes less alert, less responsive and life starts to lose its sparkle. Thank goodness for Aktivait with its remarkable combination of anti- oxidants and amino acids. We have now seen so many cases where there have been extraordinary improvements in the quality of life of our older patients, we want some for ourselves! Try it for your older pets now – you’ll be delighted.
The herb Gingko biloba is now very well established for its benefits in keeping older brains sharp by promoting good blood supply to the brain: try Norbright for a Dog-specific source of Gingko.
Make sure your pet has enough Vitamin C, E and folic acid for healthy blood cells and nerves. Vitamin B12 helps keep brain function going, and L-carnitine helps with oxygen transport to the body's cells.
