Dogs are known to be “man’s best friend,” and with good reason. They are a great option for a companion. Many seniors struggle with loneliness and boredom, so getting a dog as a pet can be the perfect solution. However, not all dog breeds would be a good choice for the elderly. These are the best dog breeds that seniors should consider adopting.
Shih Tzu
The Shih Tzu is known as the lion dog and is ideal for people that are advanced in age. It needs very little exercise but loves to snuggle.
Shih Tzu
Bolognese Bichon
This is an excellent breed for the elderly because its fur is very soft and fluffy and its hair doesn’t shed much so it needs little grooming. It’s a smart breed that’s easy to train and has a very gentle nature.
