If you''re lucky, your dog is an older dog, and you have shared many happy years with him by your side. As they grow older, dogs'' needs change, and they may not be as mentally, physically, or emotionally robust as they once were. Older dogs are a joy and a privilege to care for, with opportunities to further strengthen your relationship as you adapt to their changing needs.This book, part of the No Worries! series, encourages you to consider your dog''s individuality, and adapt or introduce activities that help maintain his mental agility, emotional resilience, and physical health. Drawing upon the latest research to provide ideas for maximising your dog''s well-being as he ages, the individual chapters allow you to develop your own care plan for your dog, to incorporate new or amended ideas into your daily routine, and to make simple changes to your home, garden, car, and walks, to ensure your older dog is happy, safe, and invigorated.

"He''s going to need six weeks crate rest; just keep him quiet while he recovers."These words - which often form part of the treatment requirements for dogs undergoing surgery, or requiring long-term medical care - can strike fear into an owner''s heart. Not a lot of advice is available regarding appropriate mental and emotional support for dogs whilst their usual exercise is limited, and owners are left to manage as best they can, which can be stressful for both owner and dog, and can lead to behaviour changes and problems.This unique book, written by professionals in their field, aims to help owners identify the individual needs of their dog, and, in addition, offer support in preparing their dog for a period of restricted exercise, when surgical interventions are planned.Ideas and tips for mental stimulation and emotional support - as well as alternatives to physical exercise and guidance on how to teach specific skills - are included.Beautiful, specially-taken photographs illustrate every chapter, and worksheets enable owners to chart the progress of their dog''s care plan.
