Living with an Older Dog

[9781845843359]

This book describes how to recognise and understand the changes - both mental and physical - that occur as your dog ages. It explains how to manage these changes successfully, and thus how to make the senior canine years more enjoyable and fulfilling for both you and your pet. General care of the older dog is fully covered, as well as sound advice for those who need to seek more specialised care for their dog. Exercise, diet, grooming, sharing the house with a younger dog, travel and holiday arrangements - all this and much more is described in detail. There is also advice on how to work closely with your vet in order to manage your dog's senior years, as well as sympathetic advice for when the time comes to say goodbye.
