Senior Pets
Unlike humans, dogs reach old age much quicker than we do. To compare, small dogs reach old age between 11-12 years old, medium sized dogs reach old age at 10 years old, and big dogs reach old age between 7 and 8 years old. As they get older pets can sometimes suffer with their joints, eyes, ears, teeth, skin and digestive health. Thanks to Bugalugs, the effects of old age can be helped with our Senior Pet Bundles, let us tell you why.
Senior Pet Health Bundle
The Bugalugs Senior Pet Health Bundle aims to take care of your pet’s dental, joint, and digestive health. Each product included in the Health Bundle specifically targets those areas that senior pets struggle with as they get older.
Dental Hygiene
The Bugalugs Dental Care Solution is odourless and tasteless, simply add it to your pet’s water twice a day to help remove plaque and tartar build-up, whilst also freshening up the breath. Our Plaque Remover can work alongside the Dental Care Solution to keep those teeth and gums healthy and plaque free. It’s naturally abrasive and works by breaking down plaque and tartar on the teeth and gums as your pet chews their food.
Digestive Health
It's not only the teeth that see a decline in health as our pets get older. Did you know that aging pets have a reduced ability to digest and absorb their food? This can result in diarrhoea, constipation and other digestive issues. Our Pre + Pro Biotic Digestive Supplement supports aging pet’s digestive health by giving good gut bacteria a boost and removing toxins. Our Pre + Probiotic Digestive Supplement also aids absorption, meaning your dog is getting the nutrients they need to keep fit and healthy. Not only this, but our Digestive Supplement also reduces flatulence and stool odours, whilst promoting a healthy skin and coat.
Senior Pet Joint Health
As we age, our joints become a little stiffer, our bones more brittle, and as a result our mobility is reduced. Dogs are no different, that’s why aging pets need a little bit more help when it comes to keeping their joints moving. Our Joint and Hip Supplement is packed full of powerful ingredients to help keeps the joints healthy. Professionally formulated (with 8 powerful ingredients) and approved by vets, this supplement reduces joint stiffness by supporting healthy cartilage and joint fluid, it’s also packed with Vitamin C aiding your pet’s immunity response. Our Flaxseed Oil is another great supplement for joint support, 100% natural and cold pressed, our Flaxseed Oil contains high levels of Omega 3, 6 and 9 which is known to benefit the joints, the immune system, brain health, and the skin and coat.
Encouraging Food Intake
Finally, dogs sometimes experience distaste for food as they age. They tend to eat less, be less interested in their food, or turn their nose up at foods they used to love. This is normal for senior pets; however, we’d recommend contacting a vet if your pet refuses to eat or drink anything for more than a day. The Bugalugs Cheese Topper aids to increase your pet’s appetite and is ideal for sprinkling on top of your dog’s meals to encourage them to eat a little more. It is low in calories and lactose, high in protein, low in fat and is grain and gluten free, it’s a rich source of calcium and is 100% natural.
In the Bugalugs Senior Health Bundle you can receive all these fantastic products for £62.99 which saves you over 20% when compared to buying the products separately.
Senior Pet Grooming Bundle
As dogs get older it’s not only their internal health that deteriorates but also their external health. Older pets often struggle with grooming themselves effectively due to decreased flexibility, which can leave them dirtier than younger pets. Additionally, aging dogs may experience incontinence, requiring more frequent bathing. Their dental health may also deteriorate, leading to messier eating habits that can leave them, and your home, a little bit messy! To keep them smelling good, prevent infection and irritation from occurring we’d recommend bathing them regularly in our Oatmeal Shampoo.
Oatmeal Shampoo and Spray for Dogs
The Bugalugs Oatmeal Shampoo is gentle on sensitive skin and is made with colloidal oatmeal and aloe vera. The colloidal oatmeal helps form a barrier on the skin to help prevent reactions to external irritants, whilst the aloe vera helps to hydrate the skin and coat, preventing dry skin and dandruff - decreasing itchiness. The Oatmeal Deodorising Spray can be used in-between washes to keep your pet smelling fresh and rid nasty odours, it’s packed with aloe vera and pro-vitamin B5 which is nourishing for the skin and coat, and it’s made with Lake District water which just helps to keep the coat feeling soft and silky.
Paw Health
Aging pets need their nails trimmed more often as they cannot walk as much as they used to when they were younger. This is often due to reduced mobility as their joints and hips start to deteriorate. Overgrown nails can exacerbate arthritis and joint problems, not to mention they can be extremely uncomfortable for your pet. Therefore, it’s important to keep on top of their paw hygiene and this means trimming nails often. The Bugalugs Nail Clippers are sharp and effective at keeping nails a healthy length. They come with a guard, and a nail file, to help smooth out rough bits and ensure you don’t clip too much, as this can cause bleeding and sensitivity.
In addition to keep their nails short, it’s important we keep the paws clean and make sure they are free from cracks or sores. The best way to do this is our Oatmeal Paw Cleaner and our Nose and Paw Balm. The Oatmeal Paw Cleaner helps wash irritants from the paws to reduce reactions from occurring. For example, grit on the roads during winter is not good for your dog’s paws and can dry them out, not to mention that when licked from the paws, the grit can cause stomach upset. It’s important to wash the paws after every walk to prevent this from occurring. The Oatmeal Paw Cleaner is a gentle solution that helps clean the paws without water. It’s perfect for use on-the-go and can be used on puppies over 8 weeks old, as well as senior pets. Following this up with the Nose and Paw Balm helps to lock in moisture and ensure the paws remain crack free. The Nose and Paw Balm is also great at forming a barrier on the paws to help provide your senior pet with a little extra protection when out walking.
Eye and Ear Care
As your dog progresses into their golden years, you may find that their eyes and ears become more prone to infection and irritation. Therefore, it’s important to clean them regularly to prevent problems from occurring. Our Eye Wipes and Ear Wipes are gentle, yet effective, at removing dirt and wax build up. They are biodegradable and come in tubs of 100 - keeping your pet comfortable as they age.
