Caring for Senior Dogs

Caring for Senior Dogs
As the family dog ages, subtle change will be noticed. You will begin to see graying around the face about age 5 or 6 in most breeds. Over time, they will also begee less active. That doesn't mean they won't want to play ball or Frisbee as usual, but they may not want to play as long or as hard.
Large dogs live an average of 12 - 14 years. Small dogs live an average of 15 - 17 years. As guardians of these good dogs, we need to be aware of these changes in order to keep them happy and healthy.
