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!
