This lad came to us as a biter when being groomed, a bit of a mix between stress and tantrum. Within 3 visits he is turning round, building confidence and allowing us to brush his beard out and trim his face without worrying, so pleased he is becoming happier and trusting us.

โ—๏ธManage their pain - yes, with drugs that may impact their organ health. So many older dogs live in pain because their owners don't want to put "chemicals" in their bodies, and that's cruel.

Unless you can effectively manage their pain in other ways, then you need to have a pain management discussion with your Vet. If you choose to administer such drugs, you can also monitor organ health - but let's be real, they're at the end of their lives...

โ—๏ธTherapy such as Hydrotherapy, massage, acupuncture, laser therapy, body work & appropriate exercises for an older dog.

โ—๏ธPlay with them if that's what they want to do; you might have to remind them how to do that.

โ—๏ธAn anti-inflammatory diet - reach out, I'm happy to give you advice for free.

โ—๏ธLook after their dental health, it closely connects to overall health & heart health. If they can't have dentals, then look at teeth cleaning bones and supplements such as My Doggie W**d.

โ—๏ธGet them moving, when youstop moving older dogs, things snowball in a bad way. If all they can do is walk next door or down the road, do that. Your goal is to exercise them at whatever rate is appropriate for them, which means that don't don't pull up worse for wear - you may have to try some different lengths. Some off lead sniffy walks are a great option somewhere safe.

โ—๏ธOld dogs digestion can get a bit how ya going, some raw fed dogs may do better on a lightly cooked diet. A digestive supplement that has digestive enzymes such as Gut Protect from Canine Ceuticals is a good option.

โ—๏ธ Keep them lean - an old dog should never be fat. Some people think fat old dog is a clearly loved dog...no, you're hurting their joints and their organs and causing them pain.

โ—๏ธ A bed they can easily get on and off - a raised trampoline bed or firm floor bed is a good option.

โ—๏ธ Ramps or something they can use as an intermediate step to get on and off furniture.

โ—๏ธ Rugs so they have traction in the house.

โ—๏ธLuke warm heat packs on their sore bits or use a red light pad for safe heat.

What are some of your tips?

Was lucky enough to go to the Royal Kennel Club in London with Nikki Groom and Luisa Quinn of Kent Canine Academy . A super lunch, but the highlight was have access to original art work and the reference library. Sadly our friend Joanne Byrne had to miss it this time, but we will arrange another trip!
