Emotional support for older dogs

Presented by Sian Ryan

 

Webinar Cost £15

It’s a privilege to share our lives with an older dog. As they age their needs change and they may need additional support from us to maintain their quality of life and keep their mental, emotional, and physical flexibility as long as possible. This webinar will discuss possible changes, give ideas for how to ensure the life of an older dog is as fulfilling as it can be, and also consider the emotional support we as owners may need as we face the end stages of the too short lives of our canine friends. The webinar will cover
  • What are the needs of your older dog?
  • How are their physical, mental and emotional capabilities changing?
  • Changing relationships and how to maintain wellbeing.
  • Practical ideas for activities for older dogs.
