This blog post is about the age when dogs become seniors and what pet owners should be aware of in terms of health and behavior during this stage. When it comes to our beloved pets, there always comes a time when they mature from being puppies to their elderly years. It can seem like only yesterday when our pups were running around, having fun and playing with us, when in reality, they have now entered into a different life stage and it is important to be aware of the changes that come with it. In this blog post, we will explore the age when dogs become seniors, what pet owners should be aware of in terms of health and behavior during this stage, and how to make sure we are providing our senior pup with the best possible care for their later years. Unlike humans, it is not always easy to pinpoint when dogs become seniors due to their wide range in size and breed. It is not uncommon for a medium-sized dog to live up to 15 years and with larger breeds like the Great Dane, the lifespan can go up to 8 years or more. To figure out if your dog has reached the senior years or not, it is important to look at their age in relation to their breed’s life expectancy. A general rule of thumb is that smaller breeds tend to reach seniority at around 7 years old and larger breeds can start aging as early as 5 years old.

It's a common question among pet owners: do dogs think we are dogs? Have you ever wondered if your furry friend thinks of you as a sibling or even a parent? We’ve all seen the videos of dogs seeming to understand what their owners are saying, and we’ve heard the stories of how much they seem to “love” us. It’s easy to have a heartfelt bond with a pet, but is it possible that we may be more than just friends in their eyes? It turns out that understanding the complex inner workings of a canine mind is no small feat! Even though humans and dogs have been living together for thousands of years, we still don't know definitively if our four-legged friends think of us as fellow canines. In this blog post, we’ll look at the evidence both for and against this theory. We’ll explore scientific studies and take a closer look at the behavior of our beloved pets to find out if they really do think of us as family members or simply as two very different species. Let’s dive into the fascinating world of canine cognition and see if science can tell us if dogs really think we’re dogs too!
