Great products for our older models
I can’t put in to words just how amazing fortiflora is for just about everything. Diarrhea? Fortiflora. Vomiting? Fortiflora? Mild GI upset? Fortiflora. Feeling under the weather? Fortiflora. It’s an amazing produce that helps so many dogs for so man...
Purina Pro Plan FortiFlora Probiotic Powder for Dogs
Great for elder dogs who like to chew on toys but have sensitive teeth due to age. The material is soft and the cold can help soothe discomfort
Multipet Chilly Bone Vanilla-Scented Dog Toy
This is one of my favorite tools for dogs with rear-end weakness who still want to move under their own power. It lets you support some of their weight during potty trips, stairs, and short walks without throwing out your back! The padded sling and l...
GINGERLEAD Dog Support Sling Rear Harness Large
For senior dogs who need joint support, Dasuquin is one of the supplements I’m comfortable recommending because it combines ASU, glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM in a veterinary-focused formulation. Supplements should still be discussed with your vet...
Dasuquin® With MSM Soft Chews
Slippery hardwood and tile can become genuinely difficult for arthritic, neurologically weak, or muscle-wasted dogs, and ToeGrips give the nails a traction point without wrapping the entire paw in a boot or sock. They’re one of those tiny quality-of-...
Dr Buzby's Large ToeGrips for Dogs - 20 Pack
For larger senior dogs, I like a genuinely supportive orthopedic bed that doesn’t simply collapse under their weight, especially when they’re spending much more of the day resting. The Big Barker is substantial and washable, although dogs who can no ...
Barker Beds XL Orthopedic Dog Bed 7" Pillow Top
A long ramp reduces the need for an aging dog to jump into a vehicle and gives you a shallower incline than many short folding ramps, which matters when hips, knees, balance, or strength are aching. I particularly like ramps for senior dogs who can s...
PetSafe Happy Ride Extra Long Telescoping Dog Ramp
A stroller is wildly underrated for seniors who still love going outside but no longer have the stamina or mobility for an entire walk, they can ride, sniff, watch the world, and get out for whatever amount of walking their body can comfortably handl...
Pet Gear No-Zip AT3 Pet Stroller, Sea Salt
Thin seniors and hospice patients often seek warmer resting spots, and I prefer a self-warming pad because it reflects the dog’s own body heat without cords, plugs, or an actively heated surface, so no risk of overheating. It’s lightweight, washable,...
K&H Self-Warming Crate Pad, Large 37x25in
Potty and Clean Up
Older dogs are going to have accidents in the house. Full stop. These are the products and cleaning materials I personally use and recommend to pet parents on a daily basis.
Great for senior dogs who can’t quite make it outside all the time. Like my 20 year old dog in my pfp. 💙
Puppy Training Pads | Pee Pads For Dogs
I have had these for YEARS. I live in Minnesota where the snow can get so bad and my older dog is NOT going out in that weather. Now he can potty without any stress from the snow
Porch Potty
A nearby indoor potty option for seniors who struggle with stairs, bad weather, or getting outside in time. Smaller than the porch potty, easier for smaller dogs I’d say. Choose a low-entry set up and clean frequently to avoid flies and protect skin ...
Artificial Grass Puppy Pee Pad 20x25 Inch
This is hospice care disguised as a blanket: put it over the couch, mattress, dog bed, car seat, or wherever your senior pup actually wants to sleep, and you have a washable waterproof layer beneath them. It lets incontinent dogs keep using their fam...
