Keep your dog healthy and happy throughout their senior years

So they can enjoy the activities they love, and you can enjoy more good quality time with them!

As your dog gets older, you naturally want to see them maintain:

Mobility and pain-free movement
A good appetite
Interest in their favorite activities
A bright, alert mind

You can see it:

Your dog waking up each morning with pep in their step, excited to greet the day
Enjoying leisurely walks together while they sniff all the interesting smells
Coming home to eagerly eat a nutritious breakfast
Looking over from your laptop during your work day to see your dog snoozing in a sunbeam and smiling to yourself, knowing they’re comfortable and happy
Snuggling together on the couch, your dog sighing with contentment as you gently stroke their soft head
Gentle games of fetch, tug, or hide & seek, laughing at the mischievous sparkle in your dog’s eyes
Going to bed at night, both of you sleeping soundly, secure in the knowledge that you and your dog thoroughly enjoyed another golden day together

I want this!

Trying to figure out how to help your senior dog thrive can be overwhelming

Whether you’ve tried a dozen different supplements, read countless pieces of conflicting advice online, or simply watched your dog struggle to get up in the morning and not known what to do, I know how feeling helpless and unsure how to best meet their needs can keep you from fully enjoying their golden years.

You keep thinking the next blood test you spend $300 on will give you the secret to your dog’s health, or that the next supplement you try will turn things around for them - but that doesn’t happen
You often wonder if your dog might be in pain without you knowing
You want to keep them active (we’ve all heard “use it or lose it!”) but aren’t sure what types of exercise are good for seniors
You worry they might be developing doggie dementia (canine cognitive dysfunction) but aren’t sure which signs to watch for
Your vet recommends tests, but you don’t know which ones are worth doing, and don’t want to put your dog through the stress of extra visits
You want a good handle on your dog’s quality of life, but there’s never enough time during office visits for a deep discussion about it
Vet visits are getting more frequent and expensive, and you’re not sure how much difference they’re really making to your dog’s health
Your dog’s breath could knock out a rhino, but you’re afraid to put them under anesthesia at their age
You know how important good nutrition is for seniors, but your dog is getting pickier and pickier, and you’re not sure how to even compare different food options

It feels like you’re lost in this endless loop of questioning whether you’re giving your dog everything they need to thrive.

You know you want your dog to live a long, happy life but you’re not sure how to help that happen.

You want your dog’s golden years to be the best time of their life, to reward them for the years of love and companionship they’ve given you, and you want to enjoy your time together without stress and uncertainty.
