Less appetite, more sleep
A full bowl of food or a dog slowly eating treats? This is a sign you shouldn’t ignore. Taste, smell, and digestion change with age. Choose a food that’s tastier, more digestible, and easier to chew. When it comes to rest, don’t worry if your dog sleeps almost all day: it’s their way of resting. Create a soft, quiet corner where they can rest undisturbed.
urinary incontinence, difficulty getting up or climbing stairs… all of these are part of the natural aging process. These ailments can be alleviated with simple measures: an easily accessible litter box, a non-slip mat, or more frequent walks. If symptoms worsen, a veterinary checkup will allow you to adjust your dog’s daily comfort.
Also pay attention to your dog’s breathing: unusual panting, coughing or shortness of breath always require the intervention of a specialist.
