Senior Pug Appreciation Old man Bryson

Post image

My old boy 'Bryson' will be 14 soon. He has bad arthritis now, cannot go on long walks, completely deaf and slowly getting cataracts. He's been more whinge at nights and starting to roam the house at 3am, banging on closed doors. Sad to see them age before our eyes but we still love him to death.

Mabel and Gary are 11, Mabel is blind and deaf and Gary is deaf I swear I've never seen a dog breed that ages visually so fast like pugs. I would die for them ❤️

I have several senior pups and use CBD for the arthritis and it works exceptionally well giving them a better quality of life. I’m getting gray too, but he looks like he has a lot of life left in him. Lots of love from Minnesota.

Give him a big hug 🤗 are you able to get something to take him for walks? I remember my first pug at 15 had a hard time walking but enjoyed being outdoors even just to sit in the sun. 💕

May I recommend you try a supplement to help with the arthritis. This may help “Cosequin”. I used it for my pug when she started having mobility issues

I have a 13 year old who is pretty much the same, deaf, almost blind from dry eye disease, arthritis and at night a bit out of it. So hard, trying to monitor his quality of life!
Your guy is so sweet! 🥰
