Senior Dog Care Guidelines

As dogs age, their needs begin to shift. A “senior” dog is typically considered to be in the last 25% of their expected lifespan, which varies by size:

  • Small (1–20 lbs): 8–10 years

  • Medium (20–50 lbs): 7–9 years

  • Large (50–90 lbs): 5–7 years

  • Giant (>90 lbs): 5–6 years

Older dogs are more likely to develop conditions such as arthritis, kidney disease, and cancer. They may also experience changes in weight, mobility, and overall comfort.

Prevention is Key

Early detection and management of senior conditions is extremely important, because many conditions are not able to be cured but can be slowed down and managed to maintain their quality of life.

Key areas to focus on include:

  • Nutrition

    Maintaining a healthy weight can help extend lifespan and reduce disease risk

  • Mobility & Comfort

    Early arthritis management helps preserve muscle and joint function

  • Preventive Care

    Routine screenings allow earlier detection of chronic conditions

With early detection and ongoing care, many age-related conditions can be managed to support a good quality of life.
