Caring for your dog as they get older

Regular health checks are important for all dogs, but they become increasingly important as your dog gets older. Just like humans, as your dog gets older they could start to experience health issues. We’ve got advice on some of the more common conditions that can cause problems for older dogs.

Quite often, the change in behaviour is very slight and you may not notice it. Add to the fact that many dogs hide their pain and it could be some time before you notice that there’s a problem.

Regular health checks are an ideal opportunity for your vet to give your dog a nose-to-tail check and carry-out any tests that they feel are necessary. Read on for our senior dog care advice.
