Make a Senior Dog Bucket List
Think of it as a celebration, not a countdown. What brings your dog joy? What simple experiences light them up?
Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- Visit a quiet beach or nature trail
- Share a “pup cup” on a warm day
- Invite their favorite people (or dogs) over for a low-key visit
- Let them roll in the grass as long as they want
- Give them a meal fit for royalty
This list doesn’t have to be long or fancy. It’s about presence and connection.
Honor the Bond You’ve Built
You’ve been through so much together, from puppyhood chaos, long walks, lazy afternoons, to late-night snuggles. These years are the victory lap. You’ve earned this time to slow down and soak it all in.
So celebrate your senior dog. Every moment, every tail wag, every sigh of contentment. This chapter may be quieter, but it’s just as full of love.
From all of us here at Preventive Vet — thank you for being the kind of dog parent who shows up, stays curious, and leads with compassion. Your dog is lucky to have you!
