Keeping Seniors Active and Healthy with Gentle Exercise

At Tailwaggers Country Inn, we design gentle exercise routines that are tailored to each pet’s age, breed, and health condition. Our expansive 20 designated fenced play parks provide a safe space for seniors to stretch their legs, explore, and interact at their own pace. Our trained pet counselors closely monitor these sessions to ensure they remain low-impact and within the pet’s physical limits.

Our exercise routines help in maintaining a healthy weight, improving circulation, enhancing mobility, and preventing age-related health issues. Exercise also helps to keep senior pets mentally stimulated, which can reduce overall anxiety and depression.

Maintaining Comfort and Hygiene with Pet Grooming

Pet grooming is extremely important for all ages of your pet’s life. When they grow older, your pets will face mobility issues, health issues, as well as hygiene issues. Self-grooming can be challenging for many pets as they slow down. Tailwaggers Country Inn provides a state-of-the-art grooming salon where we specialize in grooming services tailored to your senior pet.

Pet Grooming Process – Senior pets often have sensitive skin, so our experienced groomers use hypoallergenic shampoos and conditioners that are mild and soothing. We pay special attention to areas that may develop mats or require extra care, such as behind the ears, under the legs, and around the tail. Our trained groomers also look out for signs of common age-related issues, such as lumps, bumps, or skin irritations, which we promptly report to the pet’s owners.

Additionally, regular nail trimming is vital for senior pets, as overgrown nails can affect their gait and lead to discomfort or injury. The benefits of proper grooming extend beyond hygiene—it also helps stimulate circulation, distribute natural oils, and provide a bonding experience that seniors often crave.
