Not to insult little dogs…. What about seniors that like big dogs? 🙃🇺🇸

How could you forget the adorable Cotton de Tulear? These 8-12 lb dogs have hair that feels like cotton, hence the name. They are very attached to their owners and suffer seraration anxiety if left too long. They are smart and love to please their owners. They are usually white with black eyes and nose and are cousins to the Bichon😮 Frisse and look like a stuffed animal. Other colors are black and white party and black white and brown party.

When I was growing up I had a friend whose grandmother had a Great Dane as her pet. His name was Big Boy and he loved Gran so much. He'd play and run with us kids but he was always the gentleman when he was with Gran. He'd walk sedately with her and you could tell she was his favorite person. He was a wonderful good boy.

A program that connects a younger person with a senior is needed for companion animals. The younger could check in monthly with the senior to see how things are going. If the senior gets sick or goes to the hospital for surgery...the younger could foster care for the animal until the senior is able to have the pet with them again. The program could provide funds for food and pet supplies and vet bills. Lonely Seniors....Lonely Pets. Win Win!

Corgis are not the best choice for seniors unless they......... Dont mind paying $2000 and up for a Corgi pup from a reputable breeder, have a backyard and dont mind lots of dog hair....everywhere all the time, know they will be underfoot all the time, they also live 12-15 years. Another thing is Corgis not raised with kids may not be kid friendly with grandkids. Corgis are popular now and that comes with lots of irresponsible breeding which makes them more risky for hereditary health issues and high vet bills. Rethink a Corgi if you are 55+. I had 5 from 1988-2021. With their growing popularity now I am now 67 and chose a Lab/Aussie mix rescue shelter dog instead that was a year old. I recommend the shelter first.

The only pure breed dog that I have owned was a Japanese Chin. We lost him last spring. He was the sweetest of all the dogs we have had over many years. I am of an age that owning another dog isn’t possible. It would be another Chin if I could. He could have been a twin of the featured dog. Because of their long coat they appear to need a lot of grooming. Not so. We took him to a groomer every 5 to 6 weeks for a bath and coat trim. Coat does grow fast.

I like toy or small mini poodles that are just a little bit over the max height of toy. While he needs professional grooming, daily comb and daily teeth brushing, and some maintenance mid groom, my little one cooperates, being used to this as a pup. And, poodles are smart cookies. They do not need to be taught to retrieve a ball and return it to owner. They were wired as water retrievers. But mine just loves this, until he is tired. I am a new senior, age 62. This dog, age 3 now, could be my last, and hoping he keeps us company for at least 16 healthy years. Until i am 75, fate willing.

I’ve been entertaining thoughts of getting a dog. The problem is I’m a senior and becoming less mobile as I age. I’m thinking of a small dog that is calm. I’ve never had the opportunity or time to have any kind of animal. Since I’m retired and have been for almost 15 years so I think I should look for a little calm dog. I like to watch the little dog videos.

l am 71 and detest little dogs that yip. I currently have a Golden Retriever and an Australian Shepherd. I just lost my Newfoundland last week to cancer. Next..either another Golden or Aussie, both are amazing dogs and so lovable. I would love another Bernese Mtn Dog, but their cancer rate is the highest of all breeds. I like purebred dogs because I can have their personality before I get a puppy...yes, a puppy.

well, with all due respect, most of this info misses the point and is really just following the pet food marketing. I was a vet rep for 34 years, training vets on nutrition and therapeutic diets. Looking at ingredient panels is worthless. The panel goes by weight, not volume. So companies make sure the heaviest ingredients are the most attractive, like real meat, mostly water weight! The ingredient panel also does not give you a clue to the quality of that ingredient. AAFCO makes sure the definitions are so vague you can't tell! The only way to tell quality is looking at calcium and phosphorus! that's the bone, hair, hoof, feathers, dirt etc in the meat or meat meal! And that's the stuff that will harm your older dogs heart and kidneys now! You love the glamourous ingredients while your feeding an imbalanced diet with dangerous excessive levels! the industry is not interested in giving your pet optimal nutrients because no one looks at nutrients, just attractive ingredients! How ironic that the scam pet food companies turned the desire for better ingredients into a way of ignoring nutrients and sell expensive pet food! controlling protein (amino acids for the older kidneys) while reducing the workload on those kidneys, and reducing the excessive minerals which are very harmful to kidneys, that's what a good senior diet should do! and AAFCO is so lame they don't even have nutritional guidelines for senior life stage, the most critical! very frustrating! That's why I started my own channel!

I appreciate you for this very informative video! I’m switching my pup over to senior food from adult and wanted to be able to confirm it has the correct ingredients rather than trusting any claims on the label. I feel so much better going to the store to find what’s best for him and along with fitting the budget. Thank you! 🙂

Well, all the shelters in the south are overflowing w/big dogs, mostly pitbulls and labs, that are too much for seniors to handle (lack space, hard to travel with or physically lift as they have special needs when older, & many lean on or jump up causing injuries). There are waiting lists for small dogs as they go fast, especially Chihuahuas. Seniors need smaller dogs to have a chance to handle & accepted in retirement homes & can afford food bill. EDUCATE THE PUBLIC ABOUT OVERBREEDING THESE BIG DOGS & OFFER SENIOR ASSISTS FOR: -grooming -shots -housebreaking (litterbox w/pad in it for days can't go outside) -Senior dogs require more frequent visits to vet when seniors may have trouble physically driving themselves & financially affording it - obedience training - cleaning up after dogs or cats that shed a lot
