As your dog gets older, you want to step up your visits to the vet in order to help you dog live a long and healthy life with you. There are five main issues that you want to be aware of that can affect most older dogs. They are as follows:
Dental disease
Cancer
Diabetes
Liver and kidney issues
Thyroid problems
Know that you are the best gauge of what may or may not be going on with your dog. Since you are around them all the time, you need to trust your instincts when you feel that something is ‘off’ or not quite right with your pet. If they normally eat everything within their reach, a loss of appetite might be a good reason to schedule a visit to your vet. You also want to pay attention to and new smells coming from your furry friend as well as notice anything different with their skin or coat.
