Older Dogs

Some common dog health problems usually appear as a dog gets older. Here are some common health conditions seen more often in elderly dogs:

  • Canine distemper
  • Infectious canine hepatitis
  • Canine Leptospirosis
  • Canine parainfluenza
  • Canine Bordetellosis
  • Canine Coronavirus
  • Canine Parovirus (CPV)
  • Kennel cough
  • Pneumonia in dogs
  • Dog flu

Many common dog health conditions are preventable. Others will be less severe if you discover the symptoms early. In addition, knowing what to look for, can save you precious time and money when you consult with a veterinarian . If you give good information to the vet, you may avoid expensive and sometimes uncomfortable or painful tests.

To do so, you should learn how to take a dog's temperature

For some families, dog medical insurance (Canada) may make sense, especially if you have a breed that has certain genetic health issues.

"The Truth about Pet Insurance" by Mike Riley will give you all the information that you will need to make the right choice and save money on pet health insurance.
