Preventing Health Problems in Senior Dogs
Guide to Senior Dog Wellness
As dogs grow older, their needs change—and recognizing these changes early can make the difference between a difficult aging process and a long, healthy, and comfortable life. Many health problems in senior dogs develop gradually and often go unnoticed until they significantly affect quality of life. This guide is designed to help dog owners understand aging, anticipate common issues, and take proactive steps to support their dog’s wellbeing.
The book explores the most frequent health challenges affecting senior dogs, including joint stiffness, reduced mobility, cognitive decline, digestive sensitivity, immune system weakening, and sensory loss. It explains how aging impacts the body and behavior, helping owners distinguish between normal aging signs and warning signals that require attention.
Readers will discover practical strategies for prevention through proper nutrition, daily routines, physical activity adapted to age, mental stimulation, and environmental adjustments. Special focus is given to weight management, joint care, dental health, vision and hearing support, and the importance of regular veterinary checkups. The guide also highlights natural approaches and lifestyle choices that can help slow functional decline and promote vitality.
With a compassionate and accessible approach, this book empowers dog owners to become active participants in their senior dog’s care. It provides clear guidance to improve comfort, maintain independence, and strengthen the bond during the later years of life—ensuring that aging dogs receive the respect, attention, and quality of life they deserve.
