October is National Pet Wellness Month and if your senior parent has a pet now is the time to consider whether or not they could use some help taking care of them. Seniors love their pets, and pets can have a lot of big health benefits for seniors. But your senior parent may be struggling with some of the more physical aspects of owning a pet.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re worried that taking care of a pet is too hard for your senior parent in-home care can help. An in-home care provider<\/a><\/span> can help your mom or dad care for their pet. That way your mom or dad can still enjoy their time with their beloved pet without having to struggle to take care of it. Some of the ways that in-home care can help keep your parent\u2019s pet safe and happy at home include:<\/p>\n

Daily Walks<\/h3>\n

If your mom or dad has a dog who isn\u2019t getting regular walks because your mom or dad can no longer easily walk them and you can\u2019t visit every day, home care can help. A care provider can take the dog for a walk every day so that the dog has the chance to get some healthy exercise and enrichment.<\/p>\n

Buying Pet Supplies<\/h3>\n

Your mom or dad also may have a hard time getting pet supplies. Large bags of pet food, boxes of heavy cat litter, and other pet supplies can be too difficult for seniors to shop for, carry, or put away. A care provider can do the shopping and make sure there is plenty of food for your mom or dad\u2019s pet. They can put the food and litter away safely in the pantry. They can even put the food in smaller containers so that your mom or dad can feed their pet easily on their own.<\/p>\n

Cleaning Up<\/h3>\n

In-home care providers can help clean up after your mom or dad\u2019s pet and make sure that the home is clean and sanitary. If you have been worried about your mom or dad living at home with a pet they can\u2019t clean up after let in-home care help. You will breathe easier knowing your mom or dad is enjoying a sanitary and clean home.<\/p>\n

Laundry<\/h3>\n

Pets also have laundry, just like people. Pet beds and blankets need to be washed regularly to prevent skin issues and keep the home sanitary. A care provider<\/a><\/span> can do your senior parent\u2019s pet\u2019s laundry as well as your parent\u2019s laundry. Making sure that both your mom or dad and their pet have clean cozy bedding is part of what a care provider does.<\/p>\n

Trips To The Vet<\/h3>\n

Getting the pet to the vet for regular exams and vaccinations can also be difficult for seniors, especially once they can no longer drive. But regular checkups, flea treatments, and vaccinations are important for a pet\u2019s health. A care provider can take your mom or dad and their pet to the vet for exams. If your mom or dad can\u2019t easily get out of the house the care provider can take the pet to the vet while your mom or dad rests at home.<\/p>\n
