Common Health Issues in Senior Dogs

Caring for a senior dog means understanding the health challenges that come with aging. Here are some common health issues in senior dogs and how you can support them.

Arthritis & Joint Pain

Stiffness and slow movement can signal joint issues; supplements and gentle exercise help.

Caring for Senior Dogs:

Your Top Questions Answered

At what age is my dog considered a senior?
Most dogs are considered senior around 7 years old, but this varies by breed. Large breeds age faster and may be considered senior at 5-6 years, while small breeds can remain active well into their teens.
What is the best diet for a senior dog?
A senior dog’s diet should include high-quality protein to maintain muscle mass, healthy fats for joint and brain health, and fiber for digestion. Look for foods with glucosamine for joint support and antioxidants to slow aging.
How often should I take my senior dog to the vet?
Senior dogs should have biannual vet check-ups (every 6 months) to catch early signs of health issues like arthritis, kidney disease, and heart problems. Regular bloodwork and dental exams are also important.
How do I know if my senior dog is in pain?
Signs of pain in older dogs include slower movement, difficulty standing, limping, reluctance to jump, excessive panting, and changes in behavior such as irritability or withdrawal. If you notice these, consult your vet.
How can I support my senior dog's joint health?
Choose foods rich in glucosamine and omega-3 fatty acids to support mobility and reduce inflammation. Gentle exercise, orthopedic beds, and weight management can also help prevent joint strain.
