The first time you realise that your four legged friend is old can be quite an upsetting realisation. Maybe they didn't move when you called them, or perhaps a photograph you took illuminated all those grey hairs and tired eyes? The autumn years for your pooch requires a different level of care, so it's important to learn about the best ways to provide that care.

What breed of dog you own will also determine when they are categorised as 'senior.' Generally, giant breeds have a shorter lifespan than smaller breeds so you can expect them to reach old age sooner. However, your dog's lifestyle - diet, exercise and medical history will also impact on the longevity of your dog.

The best thing to do is to prepare yourself for this transition in both you and your dog's lives and to be on the lookout for changes so you can react quickly.

  • Kontroller for indgroede øjenvipper eller andre hår der kan være i din hunds øjne. Øjnene skal være lyse og klare med elever i samme størrelse. Der bør ikke være overdreven udflod, rødme, løbethed eller irritationer. Hvis du ser noget lignende, skal du besøge din dyrlæge.
  • Gå i vane med at kontrollere din hund ofte for eventuelle abnormiteter. Se på ører, mund, tænder og tandkød, hud og frakke.
  • Maintain your regular flea, worming and tick treatments.
  • Avoid harsh chemicals.
