The older dog
What old dogs need.
When is a dog old?
Large dogs often count as seniors from seven or eight years, small dogs later. Many stay fit for a long time.
More frequent check-ups
For older dogs, seeing the vet more than once a year makes sense. That way heart, teeth, weight and blood values stay in view.
Go easy on the joints
Several shorter walks are better than one long one. Non-slip rugs, a ramp into the car and a soft bed help.
Keeping the mind busy
Sniffing games and little tricks keep old dogs mentally fit too.
In shortShorter walks, more frequent check-ups and lots of sniffing.
