Our dogs give us years of love, loyalty, and laughter — and when they reach their golden years, they deserve the very best in comfort and care.
At Healing Green Farms, we’ve learned a lot about supporting older dogs through our own pets, our customers, and the feedback we hear from the dog show and pet communities. Here are five gentle, effective ways to keep your senior dog enjoying life, moving well, and feeling like part of the family in every moment.
Regular movement is essential for maintaining joint flexibility, muscle tone, and a healthy weight. For seniors, that means short, frequent walks, gentle games of fetch, or easy indoor play sessions.
Avoid high-impact activities like jumping or long-distance running, but don’t cut out exercise altogether — just adapt it to your dog’s comfort level.
Older joints appreciate a soft, supportive place to rest. Orthopedic dog beds can provide extra cushioning and reduce pressure points, while blankets help keep them cozy.
Place their bed in a warm, quiet corner of your home — close enough to be near the action, but far enough from drafts and noise.
Mental exercise is just as important as physical movement for senior dogs. Puzzle toys, scent games, and short training refreshers help keep their brain sharp. Even something as simple as a slow sniff-walk in a new area can be a joy for your dog’s senses.
Older dogs benefit from more frequent veterinary visits — at least twice a year. This allows you to catch small issues before they become big problems, and gives you a chance to ask about changes in diet, supplements, or activity levels that can support healthy aging.
Many dog owners have found that CBD can help their older pets stay comfortable and relaxed as they age. Our Healing Green Farms Pet CBD Tinctures are handcrafted in small batches by Janie, the farm’s owner, using 100% certified organic full spectrum hemp extract and nothing unnecessary.
CBD works with your dog’s own endocannabinoid system to support overall wellness, and many owners say it helps their pets with mobility, calmness, and overall quality of life.
(Always consult your veterinarian before introducing CBD or any supplement to your pet’s routine.)
We believe your senior dog deserves products that are as pure and safe as possible. That’s why every pet tincture we make is:
