Dogs and cats have very different lifestyles and characteristics and, of course, are prone to different disorders, but when it comes to old age, they share some similarities, even with humans.
Greying/thinning hair and thinning skin
Declining eyesight and hearing
Joint and muscle problems
General decrease in activity
Sound familiar? Maybe not yet for you, but we all know it’s coming, and because cats and dogs move through their lifecycle so much quicker than we humans, sometimes pet old age sneaks up on you unexpectedly.
