Senior Mastiffs: Time keeps on ticking

Hello everyone! It’s been a long time since I’ve been here, I see a lot has changed, since 2015… Back in the day, I use to be fairly active on this forum, and I remember many amazing dogs and very knowledgable / experienced owners. I wonder how many of them are still around? :)

My Cane Corso boy, Luther, is still around, he will be turning 10 years old in a few months. Over the years he’s been an amazing companion and protector. Definitely one of the best decisions of my life was deciding to rescue him, and give him a new fresh start. The initial training I’ve done with him, kept him active, safe, and stable, throughout the years. Thanks to all the helpful information I received on here, in the past, I was able to provide him with a good and healthy life.

Now, he’s a senior dog, and has slowed down a lot, especially in the past year… I’m aware that the time I have with him is limited, and so I’m curious to know how other senior Mastiffs are doing, and how their wonderful owners are taking care of them. Specifically, in terms of special diets and health supplements, various necessary accommodations, and/or any other ways special care is given to your beloved dogs, to make them more comfortable and fulfilled, in the twilight years of their life.

Thank you in advance, and I welcome all insights, experiences and concerns in regards to our aging Mastiffs, and the special care that they need and deserve.
