When to Start Potty Training a Puppy

If you just got a puppy, then you probably already experienced your puppy having an accident inside and wondered when you should start the potty training process. Most puppies don't get to come home with you until they're eight weeks old, and luckily for you, we recommend starting the puppy training process right away. But it's at 12 to 16 weeks of age that your puppy will have enough control of their bladder to learn better how to hold and control it. You can start potty training your puppy as soon as they get home, but be aware that at 8 weeks old, they aren't able to hold their bladder, and you will have a couple of accidents along the way! But, it is never too early to start instilling habits into your puppy and start a puppy potty training schedule.

When is a Dog Considered Senior

Your dog is considered "senior" depending on your dog's breed and size. If you have an older dog, you know they are less active, go a little slower, take more naps, and generally, take life a little easier. If you want to determine if you have a senior dog or are just getting older, dog age calculators and signs of aging will point it out. Figuring out if your dog is considered a senior will help you learn the best ways to care for your dog in its new stage of life. It will change how much they use the bathroom, their activity level and manage any dog health problems and health issues. While most people think that one dog year is equivalent to 7 human years, and that is how you calculate old age, that's not the case—individual dog breeds age at different paces. We can't compare their years to our human years to determine seniority. But we will give you some ways to help you know when a dog is considered senior and how to care for this new stage of life properly!

How Can You Tell How Old a Dog Is?

There are a lot of different circumstances where you may not know exactly how old your dog is - and that is totally normal.

Knowing your dog's age is important for keeping up with their health, deciding how much to feed them, and helping them live a healthy and happy life! Always note that all dogs will age differently depending on their breed and activity level. For example, small dogs tend to live longer than larger dogs, and they both mature very differently from each other. Good for you; there are ways to calculate your dog's age and use dog age charts to give you an idea of how old they are. You can use your dog's teeth, breed, and coat to help determine age!
