Eight years ago, 7-year-old Millie came to us unable to walk after an operation for a slipped disc. Her family were devastated, simply hoping she might one day stand again.

Through perseverance, determination, and a lot of love, Millie not only stood - she walked again.

Now, she’s still going strong and will be celebrating her 15th birthday this October! 🎉

Stories like Millie’s remind us why we do what we do, and we’re so grateful to have been part of her journey. 🐾

It is important to understand the ageing process and how this affects dogs so that we can provide them with the best possible care for their individual needs. Dogs are usually considered ‘senior’ when they are around 7-8 years of age, although this will vary depending on size and breeds with larger breeds showing signs of ageing around 5 years onwards, with smaller breeds ageing more slowly.

🐾 Joint degeneration: this is where cartilage wears down over time and can lead to arthritis. Dogs often start showing signs of pain, inflammation and reduced joint mobility.
🐾 Muscle atrophy: as dogs age they can sometimes start showing signs of declined muscle mass and strength. They may find everyday tasks such as getting into the car a struggle.
🐾 Decreased flexibility: ageing dogs often struggle with stiffness in their joints and muscles, so normal movements such as stretches are often more challenging.
🐾 Reduced endurance: older dogs tend to tire quickly and may not have the energy levels they used to. This can cause a more sedentary lifestyle, which will not help any other age-related issues they are having.
🐾 Chronic pain: arthritis is common in older dogs, causing chronic pain and affecting the overall mood of an ageing dog. As we are now quickly approaching winter, arthritis and pre-existing injuries can be exacerbated by cold and wet weather in dogs of all ages.
