Episode 94: Caring for Elderly Dogs

Holly Firfer shares her challenges doing yoga, meditation, and Peloton, especially now that her dogs are getting older and don’t wake her up as early each morning.

This episode explores ‘Senioritis’ and the life changes that happen as dogs become more elderly. Topics include:

• How to watch for signs of ocular and/or cognitive decline by checking older dogs’ eyes.
• What to do when your dog starts to enter their later stages of life in order to keep them alert, active and healthy.
• Odd behavior – including shaking, panting and drooling – among both smaller and larger dogs, especially regarding food and other key resources.
