Aging animals need extra care in winter to ensure their comfort and health.
Providing a safe and warm shelter is the first step in a Safe Winter Environment for Your Aging Animals. Insulate barns and use plenty of dry bedding to keep older animals warm and protected from drafts.
Monitor their nutrition closely. Senior horses and livestock often require more calories during the winter months to maintain body heat. Softened hay, soaked feeds, and specialized senior diets can make eating easier for animals with dental issues.
Watch for signs of discomfort, such as stiffness or weight loss, which may indicate joint problems or inadequate nutrition. Heated water buckets can ensure they have access to fresh, unfrozen water at all times.
When it’s time to make difficult decisions about an aging animal’s quality of life, The Last Ride AZ is here to provide compassionate and professional support, helping you say goodbye with dignity.
