After the dog enters old age, all aspects of the body's functions are declining, prefer a quiet environment, like to sleep in the sun, legs and feet are not as flexible as before, requiring the owner to invest more patience and energy. The maintenance of elderly dogs should pay attention to the following points.
 
1. Elderly dogs should have a physical examination once every six months so as to find the disease in time and treat it as soon as possible. Many diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, etc., once there are obvious symptoms, most of them have entered the middle and late stage, and the treatment is difficult. If we can find it in time and take appropriate treatment, the dog's life will be prolonged and less painful. The diet of elderly dogs should pay special attention to the choice of high nutrition, easy to absorb food.
 
2. Elderly dogs have poor teeth and decreased gastrointestinal function. Do not give them too hard food, otherwise it is not easy to absorb; do not give them chicken liver, which is easy to cause vitamin A poisoning. You can feed some nutritional ointment, which is delicate and easy to absorb. Should be supplemented with calcium, trace elements, etc., in addition to give it sufficient water.
 
3. Elderly dogs are prone to osteoporosis, arthritis and other joint diseases, so pay attention to joint maintenance and calcium supplement. The goat milk powder with calcium supplement formula is very suitable for elderly dogs.
 
In winter, we should bask in the sun more and let it exercise properly to prevent the excessive burden of internal organs caused by obesity and cause some senile diseases. As little as possible to let the dog on the stairs, because the stairs are easy to cause spinal injury; do not do strenuous exercise, easy to cause muscle strain, fracture and so on. Older dogs hearing, vision, etc. are declining, when going out, the owner should not be too far away, otherwise the dog is easy to get lost.
