Elderly and Obese Dogs

Two common concerns with dogs are elderly dogs and overweight dogs. Although you can't really help your dog aging, you can prevent obesity.

With elderly dogs, you want to make sure that you change your dog's food to a senior dog food, and you have your vet do regular checkups just to make sure that your aging pup is in good health.

For overweight dogs, you want to consult your vet to find a diet plan for your dog. You want to avoid all tablescraps and limit treats as much as you can. Obesity can lead to other health issues, so you want to prevent an overweight dog before it is too late.
