Old age is inevitable and a normal part of life. The age your dog will reach senior status will vary by breed and by other factors. Yearly checkups with your Veterinarian will provide a strong backbone to your dog's health and well-being. Your Veterinarian will advise you of certain inherited medical problems that may arise as you dog ages. He will also inform you of certain steps and life changes that your aging dog will require. As a responsible pet-parent, we must pay close attention to the advice our Veterinarian gives to us.
As your dog ages, there are medical problems that can be prevented and or cured. There are changes in your dog's life as he ages that can be accommodated. There are steps you can take to make your dog's elderly years more comfortable, relaxed and content. As with humans, old age in dogs requires a sense of security and calmness by our caregivers and caretakers. People change with age is the same ways. Senior dog need and deserve extra care as elderly people do.
Unfortunately, saying goodbye to our "Best Friend" is never easy. There is nothing you can do or learn to prepare yourself for that void. But time to say a loving goodbye is a blessing. Cherished time with your dog is priceless. Most of all cherish your dog's senior years. They are wonderful times and they pass too quickly. If you do experience the loss of your dog, seeking support of friends and family who understand your grief is imperative. Make every day count, so that you carry over many cherished memories of your faithful companion.
