As the weather warms up, spring is the perfect time to refresh your senior dog’s daily routine. Just like us, ageing dogs benefit from gentle movement, mental stimulation, and extra care for their joints and mood. With a few simple tweaks, you can help your older pup feel more energised, mobile, and content this season.
1. Adjust Walks for Comfort and Consistency
Spring encourages more time outdoors—great news for dogs! But for senior pups, the focus should be on consistency, not intensity. Opt for shorter, more frequent walks on flat surfaces, and avoid overexertion in warmer midday sun.
Bring water, take breaks, and keep an eye on signs of stiffness or fatigue.
2. Keep Joints Supported with Daily Supplements
Joint stiffness and arthritis are common in older dogs. Adding a joint supplement can make a noticeable difference in mobility and comfort.
Pupps Hip & Joint Treats contain glucosamine, chondroitin, turmeric, and green lipped mussel—ingredients that help reduce inflammation, support cartilage, and keep your dog moving with ease.
3. Create a Cosy, Accessible Home Setup
Make life easier for your older dog with small changes around the house:
- Use non-slip rugs or mats on slippery floors
- Elevate food and water bowls to reduce strain
- Provide warm, supportive bedding
- Install ramps for sofas or cars if needed
Comfortable environments reduce physical stress and help them feel safe and secure.
4. Support Cognitive and Emotional Health
Aging doesn’t just affect the body. Senior dogs may experience changes in mood, sleep patterns, or confusion. Keep their minds engaged with gentle enrichment games, regular routines, and lots of loving interaction.
Pupps Multivitamin Treats also support brain function, immunity, and heart health—a simple way to care for the whole dog.
5. Watch for Seasonal Sensitivities
Spring brings pollen, bugs, and increased activity. Keep an eye on your senior dog for any allergy flare-ups, overheating, or tummy issues. Maintain hydration, clean their ears regularly, and consult your vet about seasonal support if needed.
Final Thoughts: Gentle Routines, Big Benefits
Senior dogs may slow down a little, but they still have plenty of life and love to give. A thoughtful spring routine can help them enjoy the season comfortably, confidently, and joyfully.
