Most people consider their dogs and cats to be more like babies or children than pets, and it is easy to understand why. You feed them, cuddle with them, play with them, and do your best to make sure they are healthy and active.
You can buy your pet the best of the best when it comes to food, take them on walks every single day, and let them snuggle in your bed every single night, but just like when it comes to humans, aging is unavoidable.
For some pets, getting older just means a little less energy and playtime, but if they are clever like one old boxer pup, they just find new ways to play.
For other pets, old age affects them physically. That's when it becomes the owner's turn to come up with creative ways to make sure that their best friends get the care they need.
Similar to the dog owner who used swimming and water therapy to help his Husky named Dane with the pain in his back legs, Buddy the Chihuahua's owners decided they had to come up with something to help him when he lost his eye sight due to cataracts.
To help Buddy navigate his way around the house, his owner made him a bumper harness that prevents him from running into the walls. Buddy is slowly building his confidence back up to that of a young pup!
