Caring for an Old Dog

Caring for an Elderly and Aging Dog

Although Pit Bulls are one of the more hardy dog breeds, the one thing that you can't prevent is your dog getting older. And, when that time comes you want to make sure that you are prepared for the health problems that are commonly associated with old age, such as cataracts and joint problems (IE arthritis).

In terms of an older dog, you want to make sure that you DO go to the vet for checkups. Many vets actually require checkups twice a year for older dogs.

Make sure that you have your senior dog on senior dogfood so that he is getting the proper nutrients for his age.
