Getting Soft Chew Dog Treats For Your Aging Dog

By Jason West


The best kind of dog owners always goes for whats best for their beloved pets. As these fur balls stand the test of time and enter into their golden years, theyre effectively embarking on a most taxing time, both for them and their owners. Dog parents do what they have to make this passage as smooth and comfortable as possible. They start off by transitioning the pooches diet from crunchy delicacies to soft chew dog treats.

During their prime, these dogs were more comparable to perpetual motion machines that gobbled up whatever came within their doggy empery. Like their wild forebears, they devour anything and everything. That applies to things we didnt want them to put in their mouths in the first place, such as our full roll of tissue paper and expensive pair of shoes. And if we grant them certified legit food, theyre certainly not ones to complain.

The common denominator among all pet owners is that, at some point in time, theyve probably asked their dogs whats in his mouth. Thats because these perpetual eating machines are fond of putting things in their traps, stuff like socks, shoes, remote controls, even their very own dung bombs. Needless to say, their combined ravenousness and hyperactivity ensures that they always have something to eat at the end of the day.

Senior dogs are a different story, though. Theyre so blase and jaded that nothing much excites them. And theyre not so willing to try on treats that they know to be too crunchy for their sensitive teeth or too heavy on their weak stomach, for example.

If youre a well adjusted individual, you probably dont know what dog chow tastes like, which is the way to go. However, youd want to make sure that its appealing to your pet, all the same. Aside from guaranteed deliciousness, youd also want to establish that its both healthy and nutritious, without artificial preservatives and unhealthy byproducts.

There are a common host of ailments suffered by senior dogs. There are the complaints with the musculoskeletal system, weakening their limbs, and also cataracts and retinal dysfunctions that make navigating around the house a right pain in the neck. These conditions can usually be mitigated to a considerable extent, however, and whats not enough in vitamin pills and syrups, you can usually supplement with food.

Also, there are most likely changes actuating in their physical make up. For example, their gums may be as gummy as ever, in that their teeth are no longer firmly grounded, which makes chewing and grinding really difficult and painful. These geriatric dogs are also prone to a host of digestive conditions, especially diarrhea, that which makes them lose their used to be ravenous appetites.

Of course, we are not out to wind down the quality of food your pooch is accustomed to. Just because they prefer to no longer take in the crunchy and crusty treats doesnt mean theres no longer any yummy chewy treats out in the market. The selections up for the taking actually come in many kinds. There is bacon, peanut butter, salmon, lamb, roasted chicken, dried liver, cheese, and banana, also other all time doggy favorites you can possibly come up with.

As pets go on to the trying passage of old age, its a given that responsible owners should be with them every step of the way. Dogs deserve as much. We only owe it to them to return the favors with their unwavering affection and loyalty.
