Feed Them A Nutritious Diet

Nutrition is important no matter what age your pup is, but feeding them the appropriate nutrition in their senior years is critical to keeping them active and playful. Talk with your vet about which foods and supplements your dog needs to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Give Them Enough Exercise

Even if Fido is slowing down that doesn't mean you don't need to keep them up and active. Exercise is a vital part of keeping the healthy physically and mentally. They may not be able to join you on your long strenuous hikes, but they can certainly keep you company as you go on less exhausting trips. This exercise will also help keep them lean as they age which can help with health issues down the road.

Maintain a Healthy Weight

Just like with humans, extra weight on your dog puts more stress on the joints and internal organs. Help keep them at a healthy weight with the right nutrition and exercise. If you are worried about your furry friends weight gain, be sure to talk with your veterinarian about weight loss plans.

Keep Up With Regular Check Ups

Many diseases and health issues can be treated if they are caught early enough. It's recommended that you should visit your vet, at least, every six months with your senior dog to help stay on top of the possible problems.

Pay Attention to Your Dog's Teeth

Dental care is important throughout your pet's life, but even more important when they are seniors. Older dogs with neglected teeth are time bombs ticking. Tartar build up can cause gingivitis, which can cause bacteria to get into the bloodstream, which can severely damage their organs.
