Making everyday life easier for your senior dog
A ramp, non-slip mats, more time: with a few small aids and a little patience, your old dog stays comfortable for a long time. The key tips.
An ageing dog doesn't need pity, just a few clever adjustments. Many things become slower and more of an effort for it. If you bear that in mind, your everyday life together stays easy and pleasant, and your dog stays content for a long time.
Allow more time
An old dog wakes up more slowly, moves more sedately and needs longer to shift its attention. Wake it gently and don't rush it. Simply allow a little more time for familiar routines such as the walk to the car. This small concession spares you both a lot of stress.
