Older dogs don't need as much time for games and training. They prefer a measured life, but they still need attention.
A few useful tips can make your pet's old age more comfortable and happy, and save the owner from unnecessary troubles.
Attention
This is the most important thing an aging dog needs. In addition to the fact that the dog will become less active and will have gray hair, the condition of the teeth and gums will worsen, problems with joints, eyes and digestion may arise.
Regular walks
But this does not mean that you can take your dog outside less often or ignore its needs. You need to try to keep your pet active, maybe change the route, buy clothes and be careful when walking in bad weather.
Inspections
Visits to the vet should be scheduled, not done on occasion. Don't forget about the need for regular vaccinations, parasite treatment, and other procedures.
Patience
Just like people, dogs' character and mood may change with age, chronic illnesses may worsen or new ones may appear, and animals may become more demanding.
In such a situation, the owner can only be patient.
