It May Not be the Fountain of Youth - But It May Help: Enrichment for Senior Dogs
Presented by Steve Dale, CABC
About the Webinar: We know how enriching lives and environments helps captive animals of all ages in zoos, so why wouldn’t the same be true for dogs of all ages? Dogs are used as a model for human aging, and it turns out that lifetime learning and movement may possibly delay (even prevent?) the onset of canine cognitive dysfunction syndrome. Movement may also keep pets more limber, and enrichment may provide a “purpose” in life. In some ways, enrichment in golden years may be most valuable, in part, so that an older pet isn’t ignored in a home that also has younger and more active pets. Various examples of creative methods to enrich older animals’ lives, even those with physical limitations, are offered. Steve authored a chapter on this topic in the book The Treatment and Care of the Veterinary Geriatric Patient.
Currently, a writer and contributing editor for CATster. He’s also a columnist for the Journal of National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America and writes a monthly column for DVM 360, where he serves on the Editorial Advisory Board. Steve’s involved in many legislative efforts, from preventing breed bans to banning sales of dogs /cats at pet stores to creating a law to protect animals from kennel fires; the first law of its kind, signed by Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker in 2019. He serves on the Boards of EveryCat Health Foundation (formerly Winn Feline) and the Human Animal Bond Association. Steve is certified Fear Free and speaks on Fear Free and Cat Friendly Practices. Dale’s been honored with many awards, including the AVMA Humane Award in 2002, and in 2022 the AVMA Steve Dale Excellence in Media Award, and he’s in the Dog Writers’ Hall of Fame.

Senior Dog Massage with Pam Holt

We can actively participate in our dogs' healing with effective massage, Tellington Touch (TTouch) and acupressure techniques, which will provide endless benefits for your best friend while strengthening the precious bond you cherish with them. We can also reap health benefits ourselves as well by giving a massage, like lowering our blood pressure. We can gather invaluable information by knowing what feels normal on our dogs, so we can more quickly find abnormalities should they arise in the future.
The Joys of Senior Dog Rescue: An Interview with David Rosenfelt
About the webinar: 'When you have two dogs, getting a third is a big deal.

Luckily, there are so many things dog parents can do to help keep their pooch at a healthy body condition.

Keeping Your Senior Dog Safe: Summertime Pet Safety Tips
Can You Trust Your Pet? Of course, with a Pet Trust!
About the webinar: This presentation focuses on including your pets as part of your estate plan using a Pet Trust. Pet Trusts ensure no loved pet ever ends up alone, afraid, in a shelter or euthanized. Pets are treasured members of our family; yet they don’t have the ability to care for themselves if something happens to us. If a pet parent becomes disabled or dies, a Pet Trust can provide the resources to a named Pet Caregiver under the supervision of a Pet Trustee to ensure loving, lifetime care. Pet Trusts come in different shapes and sizes. Which one is best for you will depend on what you want for your loved pet. Should your pet stay in your home while a Pet Caregiver moves in and provides care? Should your loved pet be placed with an alternate Forever Family who will never replace you, but can provide continued care? Or, perhaps your pet would be best served in a pet community like a sanctuary or perpetual care organization. The decision is yours. Join us to learn more about how you can ensure that your loved pet remains in a loving home.
