My Pet Buddy Old Aged Care Needs
Taking care of a dog for its entire life is a beautiful journey, but it does get hard as they get older. It’s only because we love them so much that we want to do the best we can to keep them happy and comfortable. It’s often difficult to gauge the true age of a dog, especially with the considerable difference between breeds. The old classic of ‘one human year equals seven dog years’ is an easy way to calculate but it is not the most accurate. They all go through the same life stages as we do culminating in their senior years where they need just that little bit more love and affection. My Pet Buddy is the only store that has taken this initiative to help you navigate your pet buddy's senior year needs and make aged care more comfortable.
FAQs
