Why Fall is Challenging for Senior Dogs

Colder weather, damp conditions, and shorter days can trigger joint stiffness, arthritis flare-ups, and general slowing in older pups. Senior dogs need extra attention in autumn, especially for warmth, mobility, and comfort.

Checklist for Autumn Senior Dog Care

• Book a fall wellness exam with your vet to catch early signs of arthritis, dental, or other seasonal health changes.
• Monitor joint health—ask about omega-3s, glucosamine, tailored diets, and gentle exercise plans for aging pets.
• Keep walks short and frequent; avoid slippery or cold surfaces. Consider ramps for stairs and outdoor breaks.
• Outfit senior dogs in light jackets on chilly days and use paw protection for cold or damp ground.
• Provide orthopedic, easy-clean bedding in a draft-free spot—comfort is vital for sore joints and deep sleep.
• Maintain routines and enrichment to support your senior dog’s confidence and reduce confusion.
