TROT for Senior Dogs

The slow rise. The pause at the bottom of the stairs. The look at the couch she used to fly onto. This is the page about the daily routine for the dog who has carried you for a decade and is asking for the floor to be a little softer now.

Senior dog at home, slow rise morning

What changes after age 8

The cushion in the joint capsule thins. The fluid that used to lubricate the morning stand up is slower to come back. Cold mornings hit harder. The dog is the same dog. The first 30 seconds of the day are different.

There is no fixing that. There is only what helps. The home gets quieter (rugs over slick floor, ramp where the couch jump was). The walks get shorter and more frequent. The dinner gets fish oil. The chew goes on the floor at the same time every morning. That’s the routine.

Common questions

My dog is 14. Is it too late?
We hear from 14 and 15 year old dogs every week. Owners use it as the daily floor through the last chapter. Talk to your vet if she’s on multiple meds.
She won’t take pills. Will she eat this?
It’s a soft chew. Most senior dogs eat it like a treat. The 60 day guarantee covers a return either way.
Does it work better with fish oil?
Fish oil is its own thing. Most owners run both. They aren’t alternatives for each other.
Can I give it with her arthritis meds?
There’s no known interaction in the formula. Bring the ingredient list to your vet if she’s on Galliprant, Rimadyl, gabapentin, or anything else daily.
