Urgent Advice Needed - Introducing An Older Dog To Home

Yeah definately will

Turnms out she might be about 10yo. Is no problem but do u have any feeding tips to keep her fit and non-achey?

In some ways am pleased she is older as young collies have much more stamina than cody so am hoping that being 10yo she will be happy w 1 hour walks rather than 10 hours on the hill every day...

There are a lot of plus points to oldies. She was probably a typically insane collie whjen she was young and now she is nice and mellow.

Unless she's overweight I wouldn't worry too much about giving her any 'special' food. I give all my older dogs glucosamine supplements to help their joints stay supple - there are lots of different supplements you can get but I use Flexicose which I find really helps when they start to get a bit stiff and arthritic.
