Instead of standard kennels, I have anti-slip mats across all tiled floors to protect aging joints and ramps placed at furniture height, so your dog does not have to jump and risk further strain. These environmental changes reduce pain and anxiety, helping your senior dog feel secure from the moment they arrive. Managing the health of a senior dog requires more than just supervision. It requires a deep understanding of their physical limitations and a proactive approach to prevent pain from flaring up. My approach to senior care is based on the idea that motion is lotion. I focus on low-impact, controlled activity that maintains muscle tone without putting stress on arthritic joints. ### My Holistic Care Approach * **Environment for Mobility:** Every surface in my home is assessed for safety. Anti-slip mats are non-negotiable for dogs with hip dysplasia or arthritis to ensure they can stand and walk with confidence. * **Pain Management & Observation:** I do not wait for a dog to limp. I watch for subtle signs of discomfort, such as changes in gait, reluctance to settle, or hesitation around stairs. By catching these early, I can adjust their routine immediately. * **Individualized Support:** Whether it is administering medications, managing dietary needs like raw feeding or supplements, or providing orthopedic bedding, I tailor the experience to the individual dog. * **Mental Enrichment:** Seniors still need engagement, but it must be calm. I focus on gentle nose work, puzzle games, and decompression walks that respect their pace and energy levels. I believe in working closely with you and your vet. If you have a specific care plan, I follow it strictly. If you are noticing new behaviors and aren't sure why, I am here to help you document and observe those signs so you can get the right support. ## About Kirti Tripathi I'm Kirti.
