Senior Dog Care: How Supplements Can Support Aging Joints & Digestion

Just like humans, senior dogs go through natural wear and tear — slower walks, longer naps, and sometimes a few digestive mishaps. But aging doesn’t mean they have to stop enjoying life.

With the right support, especially from high-quality, root-cause targeted supplements, older dogs can stay mobile, comfortable, and happy.

Here’s how Paw+ makes that possible.

Why Older Dogs Struggle with Mobility and Digestion

As your dog ages (typically around 7 years and older), two major systems begin to show signs of stress:

  1. Joints and Bones – Cartilage thins out, inflammation builds up, and even a few stairs can become a challenge.

  2. Digestion – Gut flora changes, enzyme production slows, and food sensitivities may increase, leading to gas, scooting, or loss of appetite.

Ignoring these early signs often leads to chronic discomfort — but acting early can slow the decline dramatically.

Paw+ Happy Hips: Gentle Joint Support for Stiff Seniors

Paw+ Happy Hips is designed specifically for dogs who need a little help getting back on their paws. With a combination of natural anti-inflammatories and joint-nourishing herbs like:

  • Glucosamine – Supports cartilage repair

  • Shallaki & Hadjod – Ayurvedic herbs for natural inflammation relief

  • Calcium & Vitamin D3 – For stronger bones

This palatable powder mixes easily into food and starts supporting mobility within weeks. You might notice your dog walking longer, playing more, or climbing stairs with less hesitation.

Paw+ Belly Boost: A Probiotic That Gets Results

Many older dogs start to show signs of digestive discomfort — smelly farts, scooting, grass-eating, or inconsistent poop.

Paw+ Belly Boost targets the gut with a smart combo of:

  • Multi-strain Probiotics – To restore healthy gut flora

  • Prebiotics – To nourish those good bacteria

  • Digestive Enzymes & Herbs – For smoother digestion and firmer poop

Unlike generic probiotics, Belly Boost is built for the Indian pet lifestyle — balancing diets that mix kibble, rice, dal, or meat.

How to Add Supplements to a Senior Dog’s Routine

  1. Start with One – If your dog has joint issues, begin with Happy Hips. If gut is the main concern, begin with Belly Boost.

  2. Mix into Meals – No pills to hide. Just scoop the powder into their usual food.

  3. Track Changes – Use our free printable progress tracker to monitor signs like energy, poop consistency, and walking ease.

Most pet parents report visible results in 2–4 weeks.

When to Talk to Your Vet

Supplements are not a substitute for medical care, especially if your dog is in visible pain or experiencing major digestive issues. That said, Paw+ products are vet-approved, safe for long-term use, and make a great first step toward improving senior wellness.

Final Woof

Your dog’s golden years should be just that — golden. With targeted supplements like Happy Hips and Belly Boost, you’re not just adding powders to food — you’re giving them a second wind.
