Caring for a dog as they get older can become a challenge. Your once energetic pup is now an older dog that may need different nutrition, different amounts of exercise and help getting around. Here’s a great article all about the special needs of aging dogs from Janet Roper, the Animal communicator.

She discussed the changes she’s seen with her two dogs Teddy and Emmie. She discusses the following things that she had to do to accommodate her dogs as they age:

• Physical exercise
• Mental exercise
• Diet changes

Having an older pet can be great because they are much calmer, but make sure to check out her article for things to consider making your pet’s life more pleasant. Please share your comments below on how you try to make your aging pet more comfortable and accommodate their special needs.

FlexPet™ is an all-natural Joint Pain Supplement for dogs and cats. The primary component of FlexPet is CM8™, which relieves joint pain at its source, reduces inflammation and irritation of the joints and tissues. It has been helpful for many pets sufferering from joint pain and stiffness caused by aging, canine arthritis or feline arthritis.

We here at Flexcin continue to get involved with several animal shelters around the country in an effort to raise awareness and funds to support animals in distress. One of these shelters is Animal Ark, Minnesota’s Largest No Kill Animal Welfare Organization. Flexcin asked Animal Ark to give FlexPet a try and at first they were a bit skeptical, ike many are. Here’s what they had to say:

“When Animal Ark decided to evaluate FlexPet, we gave it to several pain-inflicted pets. We also asked several people we know if they would consider trying Flexcin. We figured that people were more likely to be able to tell us how they were feeling, and help us evaluate the efficacy of FlexPet.”

“We were very pleased with the results in both humans and nonhumans.”

“So far, nearly all of the people using Flexcin are reporting less to significantly less pain. Some are telling some dramatic stories of reduced pain, walking stairs normally, gardening, or simply walking without pain. Most all of the animals are showing signs of increased eagerness to exercise, climb stairs, and are generally acting as though they enjoy life more fully.”

We get lots of stories from our customers about the great changes they’ve seen since giving their pet FlexPet for joint pain and stiffness. Here’s a great one from Brooklyn the dog and his person Nita:

“Hi there! My 9 year old yellow lab, Brooklyn, had been an active dog for his first 7 years, hiking camping, swimming AND constant ball chasing. About 2 years ago he started slowing down and was diagnosed with arthritis in his legs hips and feet. This past year he had 2 ACL surgeries and we were afraid he would never be “The Player” (his nickname) again. He was totally depressed and couldn’t play with the other dogs at the dog parks or go for even very short walks. The vet put him on Deramaxx but we saw little change over the past 4 months and I really didn’t want him on the medicine because of the side effects and liver damage warnings.”

“So we tried FlexPet. After only 3 weeks, the change is incredible. Brooklyn acts like he is a puppy again, is alert, happy and constantly bringing his ball to us for a play session. I am totally sold on this product, it has worked for Brooklyn!”

“‘The Player’ is back with a vengeance! Play on.”
