When caring for your older dog, it is important that once your dog becomes older it is time to take some preventative steps in order for them to remain healthy, happy and active.

Let’s dive right in.

What To Know When Caring For Your Older Dog

Have your vet examine your pet annually or more often, if necessary.

Weight


As in humans, keep your dogs weight within the proper or optimum range. An overweight dog has far more health problems. Such as joint problems, arthritis, diabetes and liver or kidney malfunctions.

Treats and caring for Your Older Dog

Cut down on the amount of treats given to your pet. It is hard to resist their soulful eyes but always remember that it is for their own good.

Killing through Kindness

While caring for your older dog you do not want to kill your pet by thinking you are being kind to them. Feed your pet once a day. Or smaller amounts twice a day but remove the food if there is any left.

If you have children, explain to them why they should not sneak food to the family pet.

Water

As with dogs of any age, make sure there is always fresh, cool water available.

Some older dogs have problems getting to the water bowl. So either take the water to them or place bowls of water in several different places so they do not have to go far for a drink.

Short Walks

As part of caring for your older dog it is highly recommended, that if possible, to take your dog for a short walk daily.

Circulation

This helps the dog’s blood circulation and provides some new sights and smells to stimulate them and it gives you quality time to spend with your pet. They may be older but are still curious.

Switch Food when Caring for Your Older Dog

As well, when caring for your older dog, you may need to switch from dry food to a moist or canned food as your dog ages. Their teeth may not be able to handle the hardness of dry kibble.

Healthy and Happy

Caring for your older dog and taking them to the vet regularly will help keep your dog healthy and happy for a longer life.

Now I’d like to hear from you.

Pets are humanizing. They remind us we have an obligation and responsibility to preserve and nurture and care for all life.
Until one has loved an animal a part of one's soul remains unawakened.
