With age does, the truth is, come wisdom, in accordance with 71% of pet parents who said their furry friend has gotten smarter with age.
The survey of two,000 dog and cat parents checked out a few of the experiences of getting younger and senior pets and located that as they’ve gotten older, pets are higher at interacting with other pets or people (72%) and learning latest tricks/commands (56%).
While 54% said younger pets are easy to show, 87% say you could the truth is teach an old dog latest tricks.
Moreover, parents of senior pets reported a stronger emotional reference to their pets than those that have younger pets (91% vs. 85%).
Conducted by OnePoll for Stella & Chewy’s, the survey found that although owning a younger pet has its perks — like them having more energy (64%) and fewer health issues (54%) — pet parents reflected on the proven fact that younger pets need more training (61%) and usually tend to have accidents (55%).
Parents of senior pets get to skip over a few of those worries about training (69%) or them misbehaving (64%) and even said senior pets are only as easy to look after as younger pets (57%).
“We consider that each one pets deserve love, irrespective of the age, said Marie Moody, founding father of Stella & Chewy’s. “My dogs Stella and Chewy, who inspired me to begin the corporate, showed me how much I can learn from senior pets. As my dogs aged, they became even smarter companions, giving me a fresh perspective that I carry with me day-after-day.”
In actual fact, 68% of pet parents think that generally, more people must be open to adopting a senior pet, especially given three-quarters of respondents said their pet has turn out to be a more intuitive companion with age (74%).
And pet parents have learned a thing or two about aging from their pets, like “age doesn’t determine how fun or sociable you possibly can or can’t be,” take things “in stride sooner or later at a time” and “be patient with younger generations.”
Parents of senior pets can vouch for his or her pals, noting that their pet has made a major impact on their lives (90%), going through major life experiences like having kids, the lack of one other pet and getting through the pandemic.
A technique that oldsters reciprocate the love provided by senior pets is by keeping nutrition top of mind. In actual fact, most senior pet parents (72%) agree that they’ve noticed positive changes of their senior pets when prioritizing nutrition.
“There’s nothing quite just like the love that senior pets give, and I’m so grateful to have experienced life with them by my side,” said Moody. “I hope that we are able to encourage others to experience the enjoyment of parenting a senior dog or cat, and encourage adoptions each throughout November, National Adopt a Senior Pet Month and beyond.”
