best dogs for seniors

When I was growing up I had a friend whose grandmother had a Great Dane as her pet. His name was Big Boy and he loved Gran so much. He'd play and run with us kids but he was always the gentleman when he was with Gran. He'd walk sedately with her and you could tell she was his favorite person. He was a wonderful good boy.

Hey shelters … how about reducing your several hundred dollar adoption fees for seniors ? Isn’t your ultimate goal to home these strays in a welcoming home ?

[Kristin]

For seniors, I would also recommend going to a local shelter or rescue group and adopting an adult or senior dog of their preferred breed. Not only do you get a dog that's out of the energetic puppy phase, but you know his/her established personality already and can match the right dog up with the right senior. Many adult or senior dogs, no matter the breed, will be happy with a walk or two a day and snuggling on the sofa. Seniors' living circumstances and health can change (sometimes dramatically) and getting a puppy is a long commitment (sometimes up to 16 yrs for a toy breed), so make sure to have arrangements made and someone that's willing to take care of the dog if the senior is unable to at some point. But giving a home to an established adult or senior dog can sometimes be a perfect match!

Many seniors not want to pay for the constant grooming needed by professionals for some of these breeds. Costs like that must be considered.

My God sent Chihuahua helped me through multiple traumas in my life which NO medical care could compare. 17 yrs, 14 days, 10 hrs., 25 minutes ... till her last breathe. Mammas angel 😇 and ❤. R.I.P.

I am a young senior living in a 55+ seniors apartment complex. People mean well gifting dogs and cats to lonely seniors, but more times than not it doesn't work out. Barking, soiling the floor, scratching furniture, things that new animals may not have been taught not to do in a home will lead to stress for both the owner and pet. If you can't take them out at least twice a day (right after meals when they most need to relieve themselves by nature), and they have an "accident, " know that your dog is not purposely being bad, don't punish them. A cat needs a clean litter box at all times, or they will find a clean place to pee elsewhere. Be kind. Learn I don't mean to be discouraging, I just want to propose that if you give an animal to a senior, please, please be willing to rehome the pet with you, if the pet turns out to be more than the senior can handle. I've seen so many broken hearts and not just that of the senior. Animals quickly devote their hearts to humans who give them affection, my heart has been mostly broken for the dogs and cats I've watched neighbors send back to shelters. Please be a welcoming and loving home if it is needed. Animals are not throw-aways. Thank you.

All Dogs go to Heaven because, they become a part of Our Family forever !!

My wife has been the proud parent of seven miniature schnauzers, we have been married 24 years and I have been happy to be involved with four of these awesome dogs. Now 79 I feel qualified to nominate the miniature schnauzer as a number one dog for seniors (of any age). These dogs don't shed, they are low maintenance and just a fun companion to be around.

My Westie lived 16 years very gentle dog funny and very smart.

I'm 78 years old and had a shih Tzu he was like one of my children . I got him when he was 9 weeks old .and had him for 17 years . He gone now . R-I-P PUGZE MISS YOU.

[gzackerman]

I just lost my beloved Shih Tzu Maxwell. He was everything you described. He loved everyone. He blessed us with 10 beautiful years.

Dogs that need grooming are a financial challenge on some of us seniors - though they are sooo very cute! 💖

[geoffwright]

The biggest problems associated with having a pet is the high costs of vet bills without the price of food to eat for them.

[gracejackson]

The Jack Russell is a marvelous watchdog and fantastic companion. Very very smart. Shedding is a problem.

[kyliesbubbie]

Wait...huh? Where is the chihuahua? I'm a senior and I love my 2 chis. Best dog for me!

[kevinandsimba]

Can I make a couple suggestions to tweak this video? I am not a senior (although my mom is), but it seems like most of the video shows these 'good for seniors' dogs hanging out/doing things with younger generations, and I am not always seeing why (except for size) they are good for seniors. For example, I'd never get my mom a corgi (even though I love them); as a herding dog they can be noisy and my mom would totally trip over one. For myself planning into the future, I would be looking mostly for companionship, low maintenance, cuddly dogs, some of these dogs apply but others don't . Also, I don't think a dog needs to be small to be a good dog for a senior, but I do think its temperament, excitement level, ease of care is more important.

Finally, there is something very awkward about the actual dialogue, words seem inaccurate at times and it can be jarring. Still, I appreciate the info and will keep searching on this topic!

At 73 yrs. old, I guess I am not your typical "senior". I have a Choc. Lab. and a Boxer. A larger dog, trained properly when young, is no problem for the elderly. The key is training them properly. I have no worries about tripping over them or them being too rambunctious and they are more than capable of protecting me if needed. And that is a plus when living in the country.

A program that connects a younger person with a senior is needed for companion animals.
The younger could check in monthly with the senior to see how things are going.
If the senior gets sick or goes to the hospital for surgery...the younger could foster care for the animal until the senior is able to have the pet with them again.
The program could provide funds for food and pet supplies and vet bills.
Lonely Seniors....Lonely Pets.
Win Win!

Cockapoos and cavapoo's are also adorable, love my Cockapoo.

I lost my short haired dachshund at 17 years old. To me they are the best because of low maintenance, if you can bathe and cut nails there are lower costs. They are super affectionate, easy care and will let you know if anyone is near your home. On the other hand I also had an Australian Cattle dog in y senior years on a farm. Great watch dog, easy care as long as they have room to run, very loyal and it is a myth that large dogs trip you, small dogs get under your feet more, you can see the large ones!!!!
