Our pets can’t tell us when something’s wrong, but their bodies often show us, if we know what to look for! Shivering, withdrawal, changes in appetite, or unusual vocalizing can all be early signs of discomfort, illness, or anxiety, especially in aging dogs and cats.
Many symptoms get dismissed as “just old age,” but they could point to treatable issues like joint pain, dental disease, nausea, or even cognitive decline.
What to watch for:
✔ Shaking or trembling that’s new or unexplained
✔ Hiding, pacing, or signs of confusion
✔ Difficulty standing, walking, or jumping
✔ Sudden appetite changes or accidents in the house
Your vet can help identify the cause early and many treatments are simple and affordable. Paying attention to the little things now could give your pet more comfortable years ahead.
If your pet is prescribed a prescription, don’t forget to check and see if you can save at the Pharmacy using CareCard!
