Golden Retriever (detailed introduction)

Although dogs’ physical functions decline in their senior years, appropriate exercise is still necessary. However, walking senior dogs is different from young energetic dogs and requires attention to the following points.

1. Walking Equipment

When going out, prepare drinking water and bags for disposing of feces. When the weather is cold, a coat can come in handy. Don’t forget to bring a towel. You can also bring a small amount of snacks.

2. Warm-up

Before the walk, gently massage your dog's joints on its paws and body to warm up! Keeping the body warm can help prevent injuries during the walk.

3. Key Points to Make the Walk Happier for the Dog

For senior dogs, games during the walk are better suited than intense exercise. A leisurely walk is more appropriate. But if the dog is willing, you can add ball games along the way to increase exercise.
