Great question! Regular vet checkups and being observant at home go a long way. Some common issues to watch for include dental disease, obesity, arthritis, allergies, and ear infections. Early signs like changes in appetite, unusual behavior, or reduced activity shouldn’t be ignored.
One tip I’ve found helpful is understanding your dog’s life stage. Using a dog to human years converter can give you a clearer idea of whether your pup is in the “teen,” “adult,” or “senior” stage. That perspective makes it easier to anticipate health needs and adjust diet, exercise, or medication routines accordingly.
