Geriatrics: Age Ain’t Nothin But a Number
We could take this in so many different directions.
What age are dogs considered seniors? Does that differ by size?
What are your opinions on food for the senior dogs?
Any additional supplements?
Change in exercise?
I’ve heard that senior dogs should have their annual exams twice/year
What to look out for regarding joint issues
Any other issues that we should look out for?
How else can we increase the quality of life for an older dog?
Is it a good idea to bring a puppy into the family when there is a senior dog?
Today we have Dr. Tori Countner back on the show. She is the founder of The Balanced Pet Vet, a Los Angeles based mobile practice, focusing on pain management and integrative medicine. Her goal is to educate people on a more balanced approach to medicine, lifestyle, and to help strengthen the human-animal bond.

The Wag Out Loud pawdcast is supported by listeners like you! I started the show as a passion project that would help all of us make well-informed decisions for our dogs’ health and well-being. After many amazing guests, intriguing topics and incredible feedback, I realized the WOL pawdcast is exactly what I wanted to do. I am mission-driven and work hard to produce the best possible show I can, and I trust that if you find value in my work and have the means, you will choose to contribute. It would not be possible to consistently produce a quality show without the listener support that I receive. Thanks to all of the dog lovers out there!
