When Your Dog Refuses To Act Its Age


Wirehaired Dachshund

Cookie is 11 years old but you would never know it. With her spunky attitude she acts more like 6. There are over 33 million senior pets in the United States alone. With the advances in modern medicine and healthier foods, pets are living much longer. Many pet companies formulate foods for senior pooches. One of those companies is Iams.

Having five different pet foods for dogs and cats, these foods are enriched with Vitamin E and other essential nutrients for aging animals.

Show How Your Pet Won't Grow Up

This week, Iams launched a special campaign on their Facebook page that celebrates senior dogs. All one does to enter is to write a 100 word essay and include a picture on how your senior dog refuses to act its age. Sixteen dogs will receive a year's worth of Iams Senior food.

  1. This reminds me of a conversation I had at Easter lunch last Sunday, about a Bichon Frise who lived to be 18! I met this dog when she was 16, and despite the diaper she still seemed to be in good spirits. But, I've never heard of any dog living that long!

  2. That doesn't surprise me at all. Smaller dogs seem to have a longer life span and a few can live as long as twenty years. Modern technology has come a long way. Thanks for writing. :D
