Once a person enters old age, the body's resistance often decreases, his response to the outside world becomes slow, and his memory deteriorates. This is what we often call Alzheimer's disease, which is medically called Alzheimer's. disease. The editor wants to tell you today that in fact, not only humans, but also pets will suffer from Alzheimer's disease in their old age. Let's take a look at why this is the case.

It is said that about 40% of people over 65 years old in the United States will suffer from Alzheimer's disease to some extent. Because people need the company of more people when they get older, the same goes for animals. Dogs also have a mentality. After all, you are not their kind. As they get older, it’s not that they don’t love you anymore, but they love you more in their hearts. They long for the same kind to get along with them, otherwise, the probability of dogs suffering from Alzheimer's disease is more than 1.5 times higher than that of humans.

British scientists have found that older cats and dogs, like humans, may also suffer from Alzheimer's disease, which is what we often call Alzheimer's disease, or cognitive dysfunction. So what are the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease in cats and dogs? How can we prevent it?

Strictly speaking, there is no feng shui rule when pets enter old age. Generally speaking, pets enter old age when they enter the last third of their life cycle. Animals with long life cycles will also have a relatively longer old age. It is generally believed that dogs and cats enter old age at the age of 7.

So how old is a 7-year-old dog or cat equivalent to a human?

Here is a calculation table for everyone (for reference only):

Large dogs weigh more than 55 pounds = 65 years old

Medium-sized dogs 26-55 pounds = 58 years old

Small dogs under 25 pounds = 49 years old

7 years old for various cats = 45 years old

Because people need to be accompanied by more people when they get older, the same goes for animals. Dogs also have a mentality. After all, you are not their kind. As you get older, it’s not like they don’t love you anymore. , but in their hearts they long for the same kind to get along with them. Otherwise, the probability of dogs suffering from Alzheimer's disease is more than 1.5 times higher than that of humans.

The editor just wants to tell you poop scrapers that if you want your dog to avoid suffering from this disease in his later years, the most effective way is to rely on the companionship of the same kind. If your pet dog is a girl, remember to keep a baby by her side instead of giving it all away. If it’s a boy, oh, think of it yourself, haha~~
