They share our laughter, our walks, our quiet moments… and often even our sofas! Our dogs are much more than just pets: they are true members of the family. So, when the years go by and their energy wanes, our hearts sink. How can we know if our faithful companion is simply going through a period of fatigue, or if their body is gently beginning to say goodbye?

In this article, we help you spot the  signs of old age in your dog , so you can give him all the love and comfort he deserves, until the end of his beautiful adventure.

An energy that is slowly fading away

Is your once tireless dog now preferring a nap to a walk? This is often one of the first signs of aging. Long chases after a ball turn into short strolls around the garden, and naps become longer. This slowdown isn’t necessarily a sign of illness, but it deserves careful attention: a more relaxed pace, shorter walks, and above all, lots of affection.

Confusing changes in behavior

Some dogs become surprisingly affectionate, while others seek solitude. This personality shift can be surprising, but it often reflects a need for calm. If your companion seems more anxious, disoriented, or irritable, don’t scold him: he’s going through a period of adjustment. Your patience and presence will be his greatest support.
