Dogs
Energy Loss:
Does your once tireless dog now prefer naps to walks? This is often one of the first signs of aging. Long runs for a ball turn into short walks around the garden, and naps become longer. This slowdown isn’t necessarily a sign of illness, but it does require special attention: an adjusted daily schedule, shorter outings, and above all, lots of affection.
Some dogs become surprisingly affectionate, while others seek solitude. This personality change can be surprising, but often reflects a need for peace. If your companion seems more anxious, disoriented, or irritable, don’t scold him; he’s going through a period of adjustment. Your patience and presence will be his greatest support
