AGEING DOG HEALTH
These are five of the most recognisable changes. But they do not always appear first — and they are not the only signs to watch for.
Grey hairs are easy to dismiss as a simple colour change. But when they appear alongside other small shifts, they can help build a clearer picture of how your dog is ageing.
Sleeping more is often put down to tiredness. But changes in when, where and how deeply your dog sleeps may tell you more than the total number of hours.
It might only take a few extra seconds, which is why it is so easy to overlook. Watch whether your dog pauses, stretches differently or needs more effort before moving.
Owners often assume their dog is simply slowing down. But changes in excitement, pace or willingness to continue can be more useful than whether they still go for the walk.
This can look like stubbornness or caution. But hesitation, repositioning or looking for another route may reveal changes before your dog stops attempting the movement altogether.
But wait...there are 2 less-obvious signs most owners miss
The changes above are often the ones owners eventually notice.
Two other signs can appear much earlier, but because they do not immediately look connected to ageing, they are frequently overlooked.

Where most owners get stuck
Not because they do not care. Because the changes still feel small, and it is difficult to know what to do next.
Each change is easy to explain away on its own. Without a clear routine, a way to track the small changes and a simple next step, watching and waiting can quickly become the default.
The next step is not doing everything. It is following one simple plan.
