Ways To Care For Your Old Pooch

Keeping a senior dog healthy and happy can be easy if you maintain good diet and keep their mind stimulated

Teaching your old pooch some new tricks is good when it comes to keeping your old dog healthy and happy in their sunset years. canines live an average life of around 12 years, although many are likely to live for much longer. and it goes without saying, the onus is on pet parents to keep the fur baby happy and healthy.

It is essential to remember a dog’s life cycle moves much faster than a human’s, so while you may still feel happy going for long walks or playing rough, they might have moved past this active phase. after research of 2,000 dog owners, commissioned by Forthglade natural dog food, it was found 43 per cent believe you can’t teach new tricks to an old canine. Another finding indicated nearly a third (31 per cent) continue treating a senior dog exactly the same way as they would a frisky pup - 37 per cent feel unsure if they should even change their dog’s diet as it grows old.
