Recognizing the Need for Support

The ability of seniors to care for their pets may diminish due to:

• Health Decline: Both physical and mental health issues can impede a senior's ability to perform pet care tasks.
• Mobility Issues: Difficulty moving can prevent seniors from walking dogs, cleaning litter boxes, or even feeding pets.
• Environmental Concerns: Signs of neglect, such as a dirty living environment or changes in the pet's hygiene, can indicate that additional help is needed.

Discussing Care Options

Engage in open and empathetic conversations with seniors about their care needs:

• Inclusive Decision-Making: Ensure that seniors feel involved in the conversation about their pet’s care, helping to maintain their dignity and emotional well-being.
• Evaluate Needs: Assess both the senior's and the pet's needs to determine the level of support required.
