Comments on: Changes You Can Expect As Your Dog Gets Older http://www.dogmagazine.net/archives/4424/changes-you-can-expect-as-your-dog-gets-older/ by K9 Magazine, the lifestyle magazine for dog lovers Sat, 13 Mar 2010 23:49:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Ann-Marie Fleming http://www.dogmagazine.net/archives/4424/changes-you-can-expect-as-your-dog-gets-older/comment-page-1/#comment-70202 Ann-Marie Fleming Sat, 21 Nov 2009 16:01:37 +0000 http://www.dogmagazine.net/?p=4424#comment-70202 Great info, I just wanted to add a "but" to your article. Yes all that you explained is true BUT there are many great products out there that can help keep your dog active, healthy and feeling young. Just because they are getting older doesn't mean that the fun has to end. You said it perfectly - your dog just wants to be with you and if they are challenged with arthritis or other health problems, being able to do this becomes harder and harder. Rather than leaving them behind consider your options. Many senior dog owners use a dog stroller or a dog trailer to make sure their dogs can still come on those walks that they love. These allow you to exercise your dog, but since the distance they can go would be shrinking, these products let them rest when needed. The main point is that they can still come with you and still enjoy the things they love to do. For dogs suffering from incontinence, dog diapers can mean relief for dog and owner alike. Dog ramps & dog steps are also great ways to keep your dog injury free as they enter your cars or SUVs or even as they climb up onto beds or couches. Having a senior dog has many benefits and sometimes all it takes are some key products to keep the good times rolling well into their golden years.
