Hello dog lovers. I was hoping some of you out there could offer me some advice on minding my ageing dog.
She is about 15 years old now and a dalmatian/sheepdog mix. Lately her bones and joints are losing power and she struggles to do even the most simple of movements she could once achieve with ease.
Despite all this, when she is in a comfortable position she is still the happy dog she always was. It is my main wish and mission to keep things as comfortable as is possible for her in her last few months.
I've noticed she seems to prefer eating her meals sitting down (fully) instead of standing up etc. So i was wondering, are there people out there with dogs in the same position? and if so, any suggestions on things I could make/modify/manipulate to make her life a little bit easier? Anything at all would be helpful as her current set up is more suited to a young dog.
She's been my best friend my whole life.
Thank you
