Elder/Senior Cat Health

Here you'll find more health specifics about your elderly/senior cat.

As pets grow into their senior (elderly) years, they can suffer the same aches and pains that humans suffer – joint pain, arthritis, lethargy, slowing down, etc.

If you’ve ever been afflicted by arthritis or joint pain, you know what your furry friend is plagued with.

Just getting up from a curled up position on the floor or couch can cause undue stress and pain. Repeated pain from movement can slow your pet down and make them unwilling to move about. They may require help jumping onto their window seat or even to hop up on the couch or bed.

When cats are young, they’re very active and like to run and play. This repeated activity can wear down the cartilage and decrease the fluid around the joints, causing swelling and stiffness, bone spurs, and thickening of the joint.

There are actually products on the market that can help your cat get around better and lead a more comfortable life when aging and/or afflicted with arthritis.

One of the better products is called Arthogen for Cats and comes in 60 sprinkle capsules or 90 sprinkle capsules.

These are a healthy solution to help alleviate the friction and pain caused by everyday movement.

Your companion and dear friend deserves the best!
