Tips for Your Senior Dog
Did you know that a dog as young as six years old can begin exhibiting senior dog symptoms? Here’s a couple quick tips to remember.
- Exercise their mind and body – use puzzle toys at either feeding time or play time – puzzle toys can be very beneficial in keeping their mind challenged. Go for interesting walks full of the sights and, most importantly, the smells your dog loves.
- Help their senses – if their eyesight is not quite what it used to be you can leave a night light on to help them navigate and If their eyesight is really poor, use scent to help them navigate your home or other sensory markers outdoors to help them find their way.
