Bil-Jac Newsletter

Celebrate Senior Pet Month! November is National Senior Pet Month and Bil-Jac is celebrating with our senior furry friends!

Senior dogs make great best friends because of their mellow personalities, they're already house trained and they have so much love to give! Senior dog's personalities are fully developed, so there aren't any surprises. Send us love letters about your little senior and celebrate with us!

We're excited to celebrate the holidays with your pup. Send us your pet's holiday pics and they could be featured in December's Best
Friends Club!

For the Love of Bil-Jac

"This is Sparks, a tan male Pomeranian and his sister Oreo, a black female Pomeranian. Both are 9 years old and have had Bil-Jac for life. The breeder started them on it and we kept them on it. Both are service dogs and visit a local nursing home often. They are babies to me and treated by everyone as such! Thank you!"

Can You Teach An Old
Dog New Tricks?

For the Love of Bil-Jac According to Joel Silverman, Bil-Jac's celebrity dog trainer, an old dog can learn new tricks just as easily as a young dog. Senior dogs have learned many of life’s little lessons and tend to listen carefully to their trainers and absorb new tricks quickly. Here are a couple of quick
tips from Joel:

Before attempting to teach a senior a new trick, first learn their personality and develop a relationship. This is usually easier with seniors, since they have been with their family for the majority of
their life.
Start with a basic behavior, like sit and stay, and only work on one trick at a time. Once your senior has mastered a single behavior, advance to intermediate tricks, like shaking.
Always reward your senior for performing their new trick. Try using a Bil-Jac Liver Treat. They're a good treat for your senior and they'll love
them too!

Keeping Your Senior Healthy

Senior dogs need proper nutrition as much, or possibly even more than puppies and middle aged dogs. Dogs aren't so different from humans when it comes to aging.

Because of this, their metabolism slows down, requiring less calories for them to keep healthy. If you're not careful, your senior dog may gain weight if you're feeding him the same portions as you did four years ago. The best way to keep a senior dog in good health is to make sure he's getting proper amounts of fiber. Fiber is beneficial since it will keep your dog full on less total calories, and it will also help keep your dog's digestive tract healthy.
