Changes in dogs entering the aging period

1. When dogs enter the aging period, great changes occur in various organs of the body, such as the skin becomes dry, loose, lacks elasticity and is prone to skin diseases, and the coat Gradually fall off, and the color changes, white hair appears around the head and mouth, etc.
2. Dogs after the age of 10 will have reduced vision and hearing, yellowed teeth, weight loss, physical weakness, and fat swelling, warts, and brown spots will appear on the surface of the body. When dogs are aging, owners should pay more attention to them and adopt scientific feeding and management methods based on the physiological characteristics of old dogs. 3. Since dogs’ physical resistance decreases after they enter old age, and their adaptability to hot and cold climate changes is poor, measures to keep warm and prevent heatstroke must be taken. Observe the dog's physical condition, pay attention to care, and treat any abnormalities promptly.
4. When dogs enter their old age and cannot do a lot of exercise, some moderate outdoor exercise is good for their health. The muscles and joints of older dogs age, and they are no longer as lively and active as when they were young. Their personalities have also changed a lot. They sometimes become weird, sleep more, like to lie down, and are prone to fatigue.

Old dogs should be examined more often

It is best for elderly dogs to have a physical examination once every six months so that diseases can be detected in time and treated as early as possible. For many diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, tumors, etc., once there are obvious symptoms, most of them indicate that the disease has entered the middle and late stages, making treatment difficult. If it can be discovered in time and appropriate treatment is taken, the dog's life will be longer and the pain will be less.
