Take your dog out more often

Most dog owners take their dogs out just to pee and poop.
But, being outdoors is critical for your dog as it allows him to get the physical exercise he needs, stimulates his senses, and provides him with some variety in his daily life.

Lack of exercise for dogs can cause weight gain that dramatically contributes to ever so many age-related, debilitating issues.

Wash your dog’s dishes at least once a day

If you aren't washing out your pet's food and water bowls each day, dangerous bacteria like Salmonella or E. coli bacteria can begin to grow, infecting the food and water your pet ingests every day.

Toys and bedding should be washed at least monthly—even more often depending on how quickly they get dirty.

Don’t spoil them too much with treats

When your dog’s misbehaving it’s tempting to turn to treats that quiet him down.
But, there may be other reasons your dog is acting out. Your dog might be tired, and those highly processed treats are not necessarily healthy for dogs. It’s like giving a person candy every time he or she is moody.

Feed your dog natural foods

Because of large-sized packaging, most dog foods contain high amounts of additives and preservatives. These additives can contribute to digestive issues like excessive drooling, occasional diarrhea and constipation, vomiting, bloating, and more.

Add probiotics and digestive enzymes to your dog’s diet to help him process food better.

Supplement your pup’s diet with essential nutrients

Just like aging humans, dogs that are getting older need to add important nutrients to their diets to stay healthy. These extra nutrients can benefit their mood, digestion, skin, and coat. Vitamins, enzymes, minerals, antioxidants are just some of the things you can add to your dog food to help him age better
