Senior Dog Home Modifications Checklist
Arthritis, weak legs, poor eyesight and loss of balance make ordinary households dangerous for older dogs. These low-cost home changes can reduce falls and pain every single day.
Living Room & Sofa Area
- Add pet steps or folding ramps to couches and beds — stop hard jumping that damages joints
- Place non-slip runners across hardwood or tile floors to prevent slipping
- Position orthopedic beds away from cold drafts
- Remove loose rugs that can slide and trip your dog
Bedroom & Night Time Safety
- Install soft night-lights for senior dogs with fading eyesight
- Keep water bowl close to the dog bed for easy midnight access
Entry & Vehicle Area
- Portable ramps for safe car entry and exit
- Remove high door thresholds where senior dogs can trip
