Dogs generally enter old age after 7, then slowly decline; large, fast-growing breeds may start at 5. With age the skin loosens and loses elasticity, fur pales and some turns white.
Nutrient absorption also drops, raising the risk of mouth and bone disease, and seniors tire and pant easily, so control their exercise.
