Why are life stages important?

The more you know, the better you can prepare, right? Well, that is the philosophy behind our life-stages-approach to pet health. Just like us, our pets go through distinct life stages. In each life stage, your pet’s life and health needs change dramatically.

In the human world, we see different doctors for our progressing life stages. You wouldn’t go to a pediatrician for a yoga injury, would you? Nor would you let your 1-year-old anywhere near a Cross Fit gym. Unlike humans, most of the adjustments in pets’ evolving needs fall in the hands of their owners. This is where the problem arises--your vet is not by your side every step of the way, through every small change from month to month.

This is where Peace Love Pet comes to the rescue. We’ve developed the first brand infused with productive planning and organizational solutions during each leg of the journey. And dividing your pet’s lifespan into stages better tailors pet parent planning to their pets’ individual needs. And our life stage organizers are always by your side. 

For example, as your dog becomes an adult, you will likely want to begin them on a joint supplement regimen. Many pet parents wait until their dogs have become seniors--this is often too late to truly help your dog maintain their mobility. However, if you use glucosamine and chondroitin supplements from adulthood, you may be able to prevent joint issues or prolong your dog’s joint health. 

Our system also helps dog owners better understand their dog’s activity level in relation to their age. Why does this matter? It can help prevent obesity, injuries, and even dog depression. A puppy that’s lethargic may be ill. An adult dog that sits inside all day without the mental stimulation of a walk could develop anxiety. When a geriatric dog suddenly begins dropping weight without partaking in exercise, it’s time to visit the vet.

We believe the better you understand and plan for your pet’s health needs, the better you can provide them with happiness, wellness, and peace.
