Keep them safe and steady on their feet. Lightweight buckle-free stretchy collars by Tazlab rest weightlessly on the neck; Paw Pads, textured, ultra-thin neoprene “grippers” give unsteady elders traction on slippery surfaces; and Ruff Wear’s Grip Trex or Skyliner boots protect those senior feet and are great for outdoor play.

Avoid embarrassing moments. Reusable, machine-washable, layered protective pads protect rugs, furniture and beds are just the thing for worry-free reclining.

Treat them well. Wheat-free Senior Biscuits from Wagatha’s and gourmet soft dog treats that are easy to eat and yummy for the tummy from the Mom and Pup Bakery are just two of many good options.
