Question by Patti: Are Seniors that own dogs or other pets less depressed than those who don’t own pets?
I think when a person has someone to care for it is very healthy mentally and physically too.

Best answer:

Answer by maxmom
That’s what the studies say, and it makes sense.

Pets are good company. My elderly father was going downhill mentally and physically until he got a dog. Because of the dog, he goes for walks every day (the dog loves walks). He has company if he wants to go sit in the park or hang out on his porch.

Our conversations used to be all about his aches and pains. Now they are all about the dog and the things they do together.

My dad is much more alert and happy.

Animal shelters are full of dogs and cats that desperately need homes. Most people focus on puppies, kittens and young adults when adopting. However, a senior pet may be less rambunctious and better behaved than a younger dog or cat and can still add years of love and joy to your home. Animal Care Clinic is celebrating Adopt-A-Senior-Pet Month by providing free physical exams and discounts on our wellness laboratory profiles for all senior pets adopted from local shelters before the end of 2010. Join us in celebrating life. Adopt a senior pet for the holidays.

Question by godsgracekme: What do you do when your boyfriend wants you to move in but does not accept your pets?
I have been with my boyfriend for 3 1/2 years. I need a roommate due to my student loans payment about to being. So I can not afford to live on my own. I have 2 dogs and 1 cat. My dogs are 2 and 5 years old. I had them since they were babies and my cat is 6 years old and I had her since her birth. I love them dearly. My boyfriend knew I had them and would play with them and by them gifts. He recently bought a new home and then got a rott dog. My dog is 2lb and the other 50lbs and his is 150lbs. My pets are all in door pets and he will not allow me to have them in doors and they never been to his house. He expects them to not bark and be okay outside in the yard with his rott. He said my cat can not live with us at all. I d o not know what to do. If put my cat in a shelter they will put her to sleep because she is a senior, despite the fact she is healthy. We are not engaged. I do not want to end up hating him for life and worst if we break up I won’t have my pets. What should I do?

Answer by another_greeley
he met you with your pets then he will have to deal. Dont let him change your life to fit his. Compramise but dont let him win. My brother in law did that with his ‘fieance’ and his poor cat is treated like dirt because of her. Its not fair to the pets.

This November, we are setting aside special time to promote these wiser, and often calmer pets, many of whom have traveled long roads without reaching their happy endings yet. When you adopt a senior pet, you really do become his or her champion. Best Friends Animal Society is a nonprofit organization building no-kill programs and partnerships that will bring about a day when there are No More Homeless Pets®. At the core of Best Friends’ work is the dream that one day kindness will replace cruelty, and animals will no longer be destroyed because they are unwanted or imperfect. Spaying and neutering will be the rule for all pets and adoption will be the first option for everyone. Making this dream a reality is the mission we call No More Homeless Pets. The society’s leading initiatives in animal care and community programs are coordinated from its Kanab, Utah, headquarters, the country’s largest no-kill sanctuary. This work is made possible by the personal and financial support of a grassroots network of supporters and community partners across the nation. For more information visit: www.bestfriends.org

Question by Annabelle: I took my cat who is 15 to the vet…..?
He had a bunch of test done, its called a senior wellness profile. His blood work came back basically good considering his age. His kidneys were slightly off. His doctor wants to change his diet to a special kidney diet. I’m having reservations with this since he is 15 and loves his canned and dry food that he has been on for years. He will not like this change and frankly I don’t want to put him through the stress of changing his food at this age.
Any thoughts on this from owners of our senior pets?

Best answer:

Answer by pomegranatepants
Well, you have two choices. You can either switch his food to help his kidneys stay healthy, or you can risk kidney failure. You could always make the transition very slowly so that it’s not a shock to his digestive system. You don’t have to do a switch cold turkey.
