### 五、首字母填空
虽然很多人养宠物是为了获得快乐和陪伴，但他们往往没有充分考虑到宠物衰老或离世时出现的责任和情感方面的挑战。
一份报告显示，中国老年宠物的数量正在增加。现在7岁以上的狗占总数的23%，比2023年上升了5%。专家预测，未来三年内，中国将有超过3000万只宠物步入中老年。
兽医何启明解释说，随着宠物年龄的增长，它们的身体健康会成为一个问题。常见的问题包括牙齿疾病、认知问题和肾脏问题。老年宠物需要定期检查、适当的营养和疼痛管理。
“照顾一只老年宠物通常需要大量的时间和精力，”38岁、从事自媒体行业的陈苏告诉《新闻周刊》。
独自生活的陈苏把所有的时间都花在了照顾她17岁的瘫痪猫咪元宝身上。她取消了出差，每天都待在家里，甚至为了照顾宠物而失眠。“我很感激我能把所有的时间都花在元宝身上。我没有遗憾，”她说。然而，并不是每个人都能做出这样的牺牲。
金钱也是一个主要的顾虑。一位小红书用户分享说，随着她的猫咪变老，她在它们身上花了27万元。另一位宠物主人罗森告诉《新闻周刊》，他每个月要在他的老狗的治疗上花费数千元。
最后，应对宠物的离世是极其困难的。“三个月前我失去了我的灵魂伴侣狗狗。身体和情感上的痛苦是残酷的。我每分钟都在想念它，”一位名叫科内的宠物主人在BuzzFeed上说道。近年来，人们已经开始用“宠物丧失综合征”这个术语来描述这个问题。根据PetDeparted的说法，失去宠物会影响一个人的日常生活和心理健康，导致疲劳、食欲变化和睡眠问题等症状。
照顾老年宠物是每一位宠物主人都必须面对的一项严肃责任和残酷现实。这就是为什么在决定养宠物之前，全面考虑所有事情并评估自己和自身情况是很重要的。
