Older dogs may benefit from small changes that reduce slipping, jumping and unnecessary strain.
Improve footing
Use non-slip mats on smooth floors and keep frequently used paths clear.
Make food and water easy to reach
Keep bowls in a quiet, accessible location and avoid moving them often.
Create comfortable rest areas
Provide supportive bedding in warm, low-traffic areas.
Adjust activity
Shorter, more frequent walks may suit some senior dogs better than long outings. Follow veterinary guidance for individual needs.
