November is National Senior Pet Month, a time to remind us to care for our senior fur babies, especially those who have been with us for years!
As dogs aged, their needs changes and we need to adjust the way we take care of them.
Let's take a look at a few practical tips for caring for your dog in his or her later years.
Taking your dog for regular health checkups can help detect potential problems early, so you can take better care of your dog's health.

Older dogs have a slower metabolism and are less active, making them easy to gain weight. 
Overweight might increase the burden on joints and heart, so weight control is especially important for senior dogs.ย

Older dogs often have joint problems. In order to reduce pain and improve their mobility, you can consider adding supplements containing glucosamine or chondroitin to their daily diet.ย

Easy walks or short periods of indoor play can help maintain your dog's muscle strength and cardiorespiratory fitness. ย At the same time, exercise can also stimulate their mental state and reduce anxiety or depression caused by old age.ย

As the mobility of older dogs decreases, you can minimize the risk of injury by putting non-slip mats on the areas where your dog spends a lot of time. 
In addition, make sure their sleeping areas are warm and comfortable, especially for dogs with poor joints, and provide soft mattresses to greatly improve their quality of life.
