HOW DO I ENSURE THE BEST CARE FOR MY PET IN ITS GOLDEN YEARS?
When a cat or dog reaches six years of age, we can consider them SENIOR pets. As our pets age, their bodies begin to slow down and their vital organ functions start to decline. They become less active and tend to sleep more.
So what can you do to ensure they are best taken care of?
Check out our info graphic and website link for more details: http://www.spca.org.sg/petcare_details.asp?id=161
