Percival

Percival

Age 13 years old

Breed Labrador Retriever

Comfort in Every Step

We were cleaning up accidents almost every night. Percival seemed embarrassed and miserable. The bladder tips and gentle routines from the book worked so well. Now he sleeps through till morning and wakes up wagging like he’s proud of himself. It’s such a relief for both of us!!

Moxie

Moxie

Age 14 years

Breed Shih Tzu

Peaceful Nights Again

Nights were rough. Moxie would pace the house, whine softly, and seem lost. None of us were sleeping. We followed the cognitive care tips from the book and started a gentle bedtime routine with dim lights, quiet music, and a consistent schedule. Literally after a couple of weeks she was calmer, and now she curls up at my feet every night like she used to. Watching her rest peacefully again is the best feeling in the world 🐾

Charlie

Age 12 years old

Breed Border Collie Mix

Gentle Exercise Wins

Charlie’s hips couldn’t handle the long hikes anymore.. We switched to short strolls and easy stretches and it made a HUGE difference. He still trots after the neighborhood kids, just takes his time now. 😅

Warm and Cozy Always

Cold weather made her shiver even inside. The book’s warmth tips gave us the idea for a heated bed and cozy fleece blankets. She spends winter snoring like royalty now 🥰🥰

Tiberius

Tiberius

Age 12 years old

Breed Golden retriever

Eating Without Pain

We noticed one day that Tiberius wasn’t touching his favorite crunchy treats anymore. At first, we laughed it off and thought he was just being picky in his old age. Weeks went by, though, and he started avoiding even his biscuits and kibble. It worried us but we weren’t sure what was wrong. The dental tips in the book suggested getting his teeth checked, so we booked a vet visit. Turns out he had some buildup and sore gums that made chewing painful. After a good cleaning and following the advice for keeping his mouth healthy, he’s back to crunching his biscuits like nothing ever happened. Seeing his tail wag while he enjoys snacks again is so heartwarming! 🤗

Climbing Made Easy

Stairs became a huge hurdle. Ramps around the house turned her into a stair pro. She zips up to her favorite couch spot like nothing ever slowed her down.

Lady

Lady

Age 15 years old

Breed Poodle

Mind Still Sharp

We didn’t realize how bored she was until we started the brain games from the guide. Little puzzles, scent work, tiny training sessions. Lady’s whole personality lit up. She wags through our sessions like a pup again
