keskipetoiva
Keskipetoiva is a Finnish term that translates loosely to "middle-aged pet" or "aging companion animal." It refers to a pet, typically a dog or cat, that has reached its senior years. This stage of a pet's life is characterized by a slowing down of physical activity, potential changes in behavior, and an increased likelihood of age-related health issues.
Pets entering their keskipetoiva phase often require adjustments in their care. Diet may need to be modified
Despite these changes, the keskipetoiva stage can be a deeply rewarding time for both pet and owner.
