Black Dog White Cat Pet Sitting

Some great advice for those oldies but goodies. Arthritic dogs, add sprinkle of tumeric and glucosamine to food. Therapeutic bed pads help greatly. Keep them moving (nice short walks) and gentle dog massages help. Keep toenails clipped to prevent slipping and foot issues. Add rugs if you have slick floors to keep dog from fighting to get up or any slipping. Food or digestive issues, add tsp of organic pumpkin and tsp of plain yogurt to foods. I make frozen doggie pops and... feed them as treats when needed. Help with digestion issues and balances GI track. Also two meals a day is better than one big meal. Keeps their energy up and easier on tummy. Kibble may become to hard to chew for older dogs, try adding bit of water or mix in quality canned food or chicken or organ meat. For picky eaters adding carrots, peas, or sweet potatoes can increase desire to eat. People food is a no no, too much fat for a older dog can easily to pancreatic issues. Deafness or blindness, lead with hand in front of snout. Their smell is usually still excellent. A sudden tough can be startling so be aware. I have a dog that is about 75% deaf so I use a lot of hand signals, it works great. Most of all patience, gentleness and love is key. Let’s keep our seniors dogs happy and healthy.

Biggest free loaders ever but who cares right!?! We love our fur faces.

Happiest 13th birthday to our sweet Niki girl. She is my dear one. Lots of spoiling going on.

Happy New Years to everyone from BDWC. Ready to get into full swing this year. Can’t wait to see all those precious fur faces. Grateful and Hopeful. Stay safe and may you all have a wonderful 2021. Susie Taylor

Merry Christmas Eve from Black Dog White Cat Pet Sitting.

It’s a great December 1st. Cats going to love knocking those Christmas decorations around. Those poor sweet dogs may get blamed. Keep calm, protect them from themselves and enjoy the insanity. We do it for them after all, at least that’s what the cats think. BDWC

BDWC says Gobble Gobble and have a great day with those you love, furry and non furry.
