How can I keep my dog comfortable at home when he gets old?

When we get older ourselves, sometimes trying to go up those stairs and making it up a flight of stairs can be very difficult. So, you can change things around the house; maybe have a ramp so your dog can get up and down stairs instead of having to climb each one. Have some warm bedding for it, because something soft on those older bones can be very helpful. You may have to raise the dog food bowls so that they're easier for them to get to, so that they don't have to try and stand on their head. If you have slick flooring, you might even want to put something down so the dog has a runner and it's not going to be losing its little paws as it's walking along.
