     <\/p>\n

    How old is my dog in human years?<\/span><\/h2>\n

    The old rule of thumb says that each year of a dog\u2019s life is equivalent to seven years of a human\u2019s life. However, in reality, it\u2019s not quite so simple. The American Veterinary Medical Association has a more precise formula for calculating your dog\u2019s \u201chuman age.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    For a medium sized dog, the first year of life is about 15 human years, while the second year of life equals about nine human years. After that, each year of your dog\u2019s life is equivalent to approximately five human years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"\"

    What is considered a senior dog?<\/span><\/h2>\n

    This depends on your dog\u2019s size. Smaller dogs typically live longer than medium sized dogs, and medium sized dogs typically live longer than larger dogs. So, while small dogs like chihuahuas and dachshunds aren\u2019t considered seniors until 11 years of age, large breeds like Great Danes are seniors at 8 years of age. Medium sized breeds like huskies, labs and Aussies are classified as seniors at 10 years of age.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Adopting a senior dog<\/span><\/h2>\n

    Sadly, senior dogs are often overlooked in shelters. Adopters may be discouraged by concerns about an older dog\u2019s health or temperament. They may fear that they will not get to enjoy as many years with an older dog as they do with a puppy. These misconceptions unfortunately cause many older dogs to spend their golden years in the shelter system. In reality, there are many benefits to adopting a senior dog.<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    First and foremost, with a senior dog, you likely don\u2019t have to worry about any surprises regarding chronic health or behavioral issues. While shelter staff cannot be certain how a puppy will develop, older dogs have (for the most part) already grown into their personalities. It\u2019s also (probably) already clear how these dogs will interact with children, other dogs and cats.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"\"

    Secondly, when you adopt an older dog, you won\u2019t have to deal with the stress of raising a puppy. While raising a puppy is a fun and rewarding experience, it\u2019s also a thoroughly demanding one. From potty training to obedience training to those seemingly boundless reserves of puppy energy, you\u2019ll have a big project on your hands. And while adopting a dog at any age is a serious responsibility, adopting an older dog means bringing home a more chilled out companion.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Finally, letting a senior dog into your heart and home is just a good thing to do. Puppies are undeniably cute, but older dogs can bring just as much love and joy to your family. They are just as deserving of a happy home in which to live out their golden years. In return, you\u2019ll get a new best friend forever.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \u00a0Senior dog food<\/span><\/h2>\n

    As your dog ages, his nutritional needs change. For one, he needs fewer calories than he did as a puppy or young adult. Just like with humans, dogs\u2019 metabolisms slow as they age. Your dog is also less active now than he was as a pup. That means he expends less energy, and won\u2019t need all those replacement calories.<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Keeping your dog at a healthy weight is of the utmost importance as he ages. Leaner dogs have longer lifespans and otherwise better health outcomes than do overweight ones. A good senior dog food will be high in protein and include some healthy fats. Many brands offer formulas specifically for a senior dog\u2019s unique needs.\u00a0 Hill\u2019s Science Diet senior dog food is one such option.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"\"

    Every dog is different. Your dog\u2019s specific health needs may mean he needs a specially tailored diet. Always communicate with your dog\u2019s veterinarian if you have any extra questions or concerns.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Senior dog supplements<\/span><\/h2>\n

    Combining a healthy senior dog food with some supplements is a great way to ensure your pet is getting all the vitamins, enzymes and minerals he needs as he ages. Some commonly recommended supplements for senior dogs include Vitamin B complex and omega-3 fatty acids (if he\u2019s not already getting enough of these in his diet.<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Some supplements can help promote a healthy weight, healthy joints, and more. The next time you take your furry friend to the vet, ask them about what supplements might be beneficial. A little extra care can go a long way for an older dog.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Senior dog health and care<\/span><\/h2>\n

    In general, senior dogs will need more frequent veterinary care than younger dogs. You may want to consider visiting your vet every six months rather than once a year, as you may have been doing before. Your vet may also want to check your dog\u2019s blood work more frequently.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"\"

    Common health problems in older dogs include cancer, arthritis, kidney disease and diabetes, as well as vision and hearing loss. Frequent vet visits allow your vet to monitor your dog;s health closely and identify any troubling indicators as they may arise. Early detection is crucial in treating your dog\u2019s health issues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Senior dog toys<\/span><\/h2>\n

    Senior dogs can play with many of the same toys as young dogs can. The key difference is making sure that you\u2013and your dog\u2013know your dog\u2019s limits. If your senior dog struggles with joint pain, fetch may no longer be an option. If they\u2019re having dental issues, chew toys may be out of the question. Be conscious of your dog\u2019s capabilities, and keep the house stocked with toys appropriate for his age and health.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Some good options for senior dog toys include plush toys, with or without squeakers. These soft toys don\u2019t require any tough chewing. You can throw them if your dog is in the mood for fetch, and if not, they\u2019re great for your dog to cuddle. If you don\u2019t mind a little noise, Tall Tails squeaker toys are a durable but plush toy option for your dog.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
