Throughout the month of May, PupLife.com is featuring articles and resource guides to help readers learn more about caring for aging and elderly pets. PupLife.com continues its commitment to the health and well-being of our companion animals with its sixth consecutive year supporting Dog Health Awareness Month.

Fennville, MI (PRWEB) May 1, 2009 -- PupLife.com is pleased to celebrate Dog Health Awareness Month in May by providing timely articles, resource guides, tips and information to encourage and promote healthy lifestyles for dogs. Caring for Senior Pets is the focus for 2009. PupLife.com is proud to sponsor Dog Health Awareness Month for the sixth consecutive year.

Throughout the month of May, PupLife.com will feature articles and information specifically related to caring for aging and elderly pets. As pets reach their twilight years, they may face a variety of conditions and diseases including weight and mobility changes; osteoarthritis; kidney, heart, and liver disease; tumors and cancers and canine Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome. Just as the health care needs of humans change as we age, the same applies to our pets. It's critical for pet owners to understand the issues they may confront with aging pets so that they are prepared to provide the best care possible.

"Our dogs are a part of the family from puppyhood through old age. Caring for senior pets can sometimes present difficult problems for care givers. That's why we felt compelled to examine this issue during Dog Health Awareness Month," said PupLife.com CEO, Leslie Hayes-Houtkooper. She continued, "Education is the first step in creating healthy and happy lifestyles for ourselves and our pets. By exploring the issues that affect aging and elderly dogs, we hope to help pet owners make appropriate choices that enhance and prolong their pets' lives."
