Senior Dog Comfort & Care

Many people wonder if adding another dog to their family will help their older dog. The answer is it depends. When making this decision, it is important that you are completely objective about the health and temperament of your senior dog, as well as their ability to cope with other dogs. If your senior dog is healthy, active, alert, and generally open to new friends, then another dog may be a great addition. It may encourage your senior dog to become more active and playful. But be sure to take the time to find a dog that matches your lifestyle — life will be different now with two dogs. It is also important to remember that your senior dog may not adjust to change as quickly as they used to. Your loving companion should always feel safe and be able to rest in quiet.
