What to do when dogs get old, just like humans are more prone to illness after entering old age, what diseases should be prevented when a pet dog reaches old age?

First, the elderly dog's body easily loses nutrition, and its ability to absorb nutrients is gradually declining, so senior dogs are prone to nutritional deficiencies, such as calcium deficiency. Many elderly dogs suffer from bone and arthritis diseases, which are diseases that senior dogs need to prevent. When feeding elderly dogs, it is necessary to prepare nutritionally rich and comprehensive food, especially strengthening calcium supplementation to ensure the elderly dog has a healthy body.

Second, oral diseases are also diseases that need prevention and treatment in elderly dogs, such as periodontitis and gingivitis. Old dogs have severe tooth wear, severe yellowing, and tooth loss that causes difficulty chewing food. Compared to young pets, elderly dogs have higher incidences of gingivitis and periodontitis. Therefore, it is essential to persistently brush the elderly dog's teeth in daily life and, ideally, visit the vet regularly for professional oral care to ensure the pet dog's oral health and prevent disease.

In addition, for elderly dogs, it is also necessary to better prevent colds, gastroenteritis, skin diseases, and so on. For elderly dogs, the decline in physical constitution leads to increased susceptibility to illnesses, and at this time dogs may suffer from any disease. Preventing dogs from getting sick requires careful feeding and management and implementing preventive measures is the most important.
