Hello there! It sounds like you're concerned about your dog's health, and I'm here to help you figure this out. As our dogs get older, they can experience a lot of changes, just like we do. Common signs of aging in dogs include decreased energy levels, joint stiffness, and changes in appetite or sleeping patterns.
However, it's essential to keep an eye out for symptoms that could indicate something more serious. Watch for signs like rapid weight loss, persistent coughing, vomiting, diarrhea, or noticeable pain, as these might require more immediate attention.
At home, you can help your senior dog by ensuring they have a comfortable, easily accessible resting space, and consider providing support for joint health. Regular low-impact exercise can help them stay active and maintain a healthy weight. Also, make sure their diet suits their age and any specific health needs they might have.
If your dog exhibits worrying symptoms or you're uncertain about any changes, please consider booking a video consultation with us at Dial A Vet. We'll be able to provide more tailored advice and determine if a closer look with your local veterinarian is needed. Let's ensure your furry friend stays happy and comfortable!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
