NAVTA Sponsored Webinar

Session Description:

Senior dogs and cats make up an increasing percentage of pets seeking veterinary care. Nutritional needs change in healthy elder pets compared to the young adult life stage. Veterinary healthcare teams must provide nutritional assessments and individual recommendations, recognizing there is no defined nutrient profile for seniors. Aging is a continuum and individual variation prevents a “one size fits all” approach. Integrating excellent individualized nutritional care of senior pets can help them thrive throughout their golden years.

Session Learning Objectives:

After participating in this session, attendees will:

• Be able to discuss nutritional life stage needs for senior pets
• Assist in performing a nutritional assessment
• Implement resources to address changing nutritional needs proactively throughout life
