Sam’s muzzle is gray, and his eyes are cloudy. He prefers to nap under his blanket instead of playing endless rounds of fetch. Sam is slowing down. Does this describe your beloved dog? If so, they may be entering their senior years. My Senior Dog, A Complete Guide to Caring for Your Old Dog, can help you make this time golden!
Breed, genetics, injuries, and traumas all play a part in the rate of a dog’s decline. Much like humans, dogs-even canine siblings-can age at different rates.
Big dogs age more quickly than small dogs. Some breeds are more prone to serious illness than others. How will you know when your dog has reached their senior years?
This book unpacks 30 years of dog care experience. From medical conditions and diet management to grooming tips and dog-approved life hacks, rest assured that you will find your answers in My Senior Dog.
Inside My Senior Dog, A Complete Guide to Caring for Your Old Dog, you’ll discover:
● Physical and behavioral signs to watch for in your aging canine friend
● Ways to treat and prevent medical conditions and maintain your senior dog’s well-being
● How to cater to your dog’s reduced mobility and keep them active
● Recommendations for products that keep your senior dog content and make their condition easier to manage
● When to say goodbye and how to heal from your loss
You’ll also find 13 proven life hacks to improve the daily life of your senior dog! Some are so simple, you’ll wonder why you hadn’t thought of them sooner-like packing soft blankets and pillows around your dog on road trips and keeping the hair between their paw pads trimmed to increase traction on slick floors.
