Happy is the owner whose dog lives long.
However, caring for a dog that has reached old age is very difficult.
An elderly four-legged friend faces various ailments and other problems.
However, if the owner follows three simple recommendations, the pet will feel much better.
Make your apartment more comfortable
It is difficult for an elderly dog to lie on a bare floor. It is desirable that the pet has access to several soft corners at once (we are talking about areas with beds and pillows).
In addition, it is important to properly design the place where the dog eats: bowls should not be placed on stands.
And it’s good if there is an area in the house where your four-legged friend can be alone and quiet at any time.
Take to the vet more often
We are talking about preventive examinations. After all, the sooner a particular "disease" is detected, the greater the chances of recovery.
