The best way to confront aging in our dogs is look aging right in the face. Here are some tips to help keep them healthy and happy during the golden years.
Suddenly your dog is reluctant to enter or cross through certain places in your home. The problem could be the flooring. Does he or she sort of slide around on your current flooring in certain parts of your house. Try putting down a non-skid carpet runner in places where he seems to slide around. Aging dogs can experience pain on slippery flooring. Puppies don't seem to mind slipping and sliding around on slippery floor surfaces, but an aging dog might experience pain.
Heights, such as climbing stairs or hopping in and out of the car may also be a problem for aging dogs. If you notice your dog sort of hanging back about jumping into the car. Most likely it is due to aging and pain in the joints. Consider getting a portable ramp.
Senior dogs need regular exercise, however, moderation is key. Too much exercise can worsen aging joints, too little exercise won't support muscle development. Take regular walks to help keep dog's muscles strong and supple, prevent obesity or stimulate the appetite. Adequate exercise will also improve the dog's mood and help prevent anxiety and boredom.
Use a safe seat belt and harness when driving with your dog.
Provide protection in weather extremes. Use dog boots (if your dog will allow them) for snow and ice walks. Indoors, use fleece shirts and other garments to help keep an aging dog warmer. In the summer months consider buying your dog some shades to protect the eyes from harmful sun rays. Kiddie pools can provide some great water and cooling off play time for your senior dogs.
Consider buying a super thick orthopedic dog bed for the senior dog. A thick, warm bed provides a lot of joint support and comfort.
Add some supplements to your senior dog's diet. Supplements are especially beneficial for senior dogs. Fish Oil is widely recommended by vets for its many benefits that include:
- healthy coat and skin
- joint support
- healthy eyes and brain
- healthy heart

The ability to move freely and comfortably is crucial to your companion animal’s well-being. Unfortunately, aching and stiff joints are often a symptom of growing old for them as well as us. And some breeds are simply more prone to these issues and need extra support.
Typical supplements treat the joint as an isolated target. This approach proves inadequate because joints are part of a complex, interdependent system. To effectively address joint health, grain-free Agility Formula supports the entire musculoskeletal system.
This formula helps maintain healthy joint cartilage and connective tissue, and to aid in the production of healthy synovial fluid, which lubricates the joints. This supplement features Glucosamine, MSM, sea mussels and hyaluronic acid. Agility Formula is a holistic, multi-action joint support formula containing scientifically tested ingredients.
Glucosamine helps maintain and promote joint and connective tissue health. It has been shown to be essential in the healthy development and ongoing maintenance of connective tissue and synovial fluid. Research studies indicate that Glucosamine supports healthy joint flexibility, mobility and lubrication. Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is a natural source of organic sulfur, integral to many body functions and particularly vital to the maintenance of a healthy musculoskeletal system.
Sea mussels also contain Chondroitin Sulfate, which works in tandem with Glucosamine. And hyaluronic acid (from kollaGen II-xsTM) helps to keep cartilage strong and flexible to better cushion joints.
All of these nutrients work synergistically with the other ingredients in Agility Formula (vitamins E and C, boswellia serrata, alfalfa leaf extract, chondroitin sulfate, manganese and boron) to provide for the comprehensive joint needs of dog or cats, to help maintain the health of bones, cartilage, ligaments and tendons.
With no fillers or additives, Agility Formula has a delectable flavor they’ll love! Join thousands of satisfied customers, and help your companion animals lead a healthier and happier life with Agility Formula.
