<p>Dogs age differently depending on breed, size, and lifestyle.<br>
Recognising early signs helps you give them the best care possible.</p>
<p>•⁠  ⁠<em>Mobility changes:</em> Watch for stiffness after rest.<br>
•⁠  ⁠<em>Greying muzzle:</em> Often the first visible sign.<br>
•⁠  ⁠<em>Energy levels:</em> Seniors need shorter, more frequent walks.<br>
•⁠  ⁠<em>Diet tweaks:</em> Senior formulas support joints and digestion.</p>
