Aging in dogs

Aging in dogs is when a dog gets older and they start to show signs in their body of growing older. It can look different in different breeds of dogs but some common signs include gray hair around the nose and eyes or the muzzle, less energy and not being able to jump or run as fast, and sometimes aching joints. As a dog grows older, they may not be able to do some of the same things they used to. It is important to keep a dog active and make sure it gets plenty of exercise, even as it gets older. While you can't stop a dog from aging, you can help keep them healthy and happy for as long as possible.
