When is a dog a senior?
It depends on size: small dogs around 10 to 12 years, large and giant breeds as early as 6 to 8. Your vet can tell you when to think about senior care for your dog.
Comfort at home
A thick, supportive bed, rugs on slippery floors and ramps for the car or couch make life easier for older dogs. Keep walks shorter and more frequent if your dog tires quickly.
Regular checkups
Older dogs benefit from vet checkups at least once or twice a year. Ask your vet before changing your senior dog's diet.
Questions
- Does my senior dog need senior food?
- Not always. Many older dogs do well on their usual food. Your vet can tell you if a change would help.
- What kind of bed is best for an older dog?
- A thick foam bed that doesn't flatten, with a low entry so it's easy to step onto.
- Why choose soft treats for older dogs?
- Soft treats are easier to chew for dogs with sensitive or missing teeth.
