- Low impact playtime: hiding treats around the house can be a great game for them.
- Food puzzles
- If you have hard wood or tile, add runners to make it easier for your older dog to not slip and fall
- Get him an orthopedic bed to help ease joints.
- A heated bed may help in fall and winter
- Smaller more frequent meals

- Extra clothing to keep them warmer in the winter
- Stairs or a ramp may be needed to help your pet get into your vehicle or your bed.
