Natural and Healthy Care for Aging Dogs. At what age is a dog considered a senior? Do I need to adjust my routines and activities with Dexter as he approaches his senior years? A great way to start preventive care is by scheduling semi-annual wellness exams with your veterinarian. This allows your veterinarian to exam your dog for any unusual bumps, heart concerns, hearing, eye function and many other medical issues that most dog parents cannot detect. Your veterinarian may also recommend blood work to check, and then monitor, your dog’s organ functions; having a baseline is important to detect any changes as your dog ages. For Dexter, we are already on this track (actually quarterly) because he is on daily medications for a medical condition.

I have been a professional dog trainer for over two decades and I've even been named one of the top ten dog trainers in the US, twice! I love to spread the word about positive ways of preventing and managing behavior issues with a holistic approach. Traveling to new destinations with Dexter is my favorite pastime. I look forward to you joining our happy community. x Tonya
