Description

The needs of older animals are different to an adult animal. Pets are prone to health problems as they get older. They could be at risk of high blood pressure, diabetes, incontinence, or heart disease. They could be less mobile or less keen to go for long walks.

Care of the Senior Pet is an invaluable guide for the concerned pet parent who wants their senior pet to get the most out of life. This course is all about keeping your pet healthy, happy, and active into their senior years.

Old dogs and old cats are more prone to health problems and this course helps you understand the signs and symptoms, as well as treatment options. But “Care of the Senior Pet” doesn’t shy away from tackling important issues such as judging quality of life and knowing when to say that final goodbye.

By studying this online accredited course, you’ll learn as much as you can about the needs of older pets. You’ll learn about how to adapt the diet and exercise for healthy and happy older pets to help them in the right way. Be the best owner possible by recognizing symptoms of distress, pain, or disease for prompt treatment.

Learn to read the mind of a senior pet, and to understand his behavioral, physical and mental difficulties. In this way you can keep him stimulated and healthy for as long as you possibly can.

Who is this course for?

  • Any pet parent whose animal is six years old or more and wants to correctly take care of him and keep him active and agile for as long as possible
  • Dog sitters, pet carers and volunteers at shelters who want to confidently handle older animals to keep them calm and safe
  • Professionals wanting to gain a competitive edge through a certified course to show that they are continually learning new skills and can handle the older four-legged clients

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
