Necessary Essentials: Senior Dog Hygiene

Our beloved companion is getting old, isn’t it? Their evolving age brings a lot of changes in their day-to-day activities. Senior dogs require little extra care. Just like us, at this point in life, everything weakens, from the immune system to digestive health. As a pet parent, it is very necessary to look after that. Little negligence can make your older dog prone to various diseases and infections.

Senior Dog Healthcare: Things to Keep in Mind

Bathing

When it comes to bathing, less is often more. Senior dogs are not as active as younger dogs; they do not go out frequently or make themselves dirty while playing, so they need less bathing. But every breed has its own needs, so always assess your dog’s needs before making any decision. Overbathing can strip their skin of natural oils, leading to dryness, irritation, and potential skin problems.

Dental Care

Often it was normal not to brush your younger dogs frequently but the scenario changes when they get old. They become more prone to developing dental problems like plaque, gum disease, and tart formation. Dental problems are directly responsible for deteriorating health, as they cause pain and discomfort for your senior dog, making it difficult for them to eat and enjoy their favorite treats.

Eye Care

Just like us, their eyesight also declines. Now as we don’t have spectacles for them, pet parents have to be very cautious about their eye health. Regular eye checkups can prevent problems like cataracts, glaucoma, and dry eye.

Nail Care

Overgrown nail problems can cause discomfort, and pain, or even lead to mobility issues. Younger dogs usually break their nails while playing but senior dogs can’t do it which ultimately makes them feel difficulty in walking or running.
