With years of wear and tear causing age-related deterioration–physically, physiologically, emotionally, etc.– senior pets will have a need for nutritional supplements for their health and well-being. As they age, the metabolism of senior pets also slows down and their digestive system is not as efficient in digesting and utilizing nutrients from food. Without the right supplements, senior pets can suffer from specific nutritional deficiencies. The most common nutritional supplements for senior pets include the following:
Joint supplements — These include glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM, and other supplements that are formulated to support the health and function of the joints.
Antioxidants — These supplements contain ingredients that protect body cells from harmful radicals. Antioxidants also boost immune system function and integrity. The most popular antioxidants for senior pets include vitamin E, essential fatty acids (omega-3), and beta carotene.
Do consult your veterinarian Aurora, CO before giving any supplement to your pet.
