Collection: For Older Dogs

Dogs slow down before they look old. The first signs are usually at home rather than on a walk: a hesitation at the bottom of the stairs, a dog who stops jumping into the car, a bed that gets abandoned for the cool hard floor.

This is the kit that helps with the practical side of that. It is a short list on purpose, and we have said on each product where it helps and where it does not.

What we do not sell is anything claiming to treat arthritis, and we are not a veterinary practice. Stiffness that is getting worse is a conversation with your vet about pain relief, not a shopping problem.

The writing is where most of the use is:

• When is a dog actually old? — senior age by breed size, and the changes that arrive first
• Arthritis in dogs — the signs owners miss, and the painkillers that are toxic to dogs
• Dog dementia — what canine cognitive dysfunction looks like, and what to rule out first
• Beds for older dogs — what changes with age, including where our own bed is the wrong answer
• Is your dog overweight? — the check that matters more here than anywhere, because every extra kilo goes through the same joints
