At Dog Quality, our top priority is to support senior dogs in their aging journey and give them the dignity they deserve. While arthritis will likely limit your dog’s mobility and slow him down, no dog should have to suffer in pain. Fortunately, there are many ways to manage your dog’s arthritis at home.

Remember when you first brought your dog home? Whether he was a puppy or a rescue, he was probably full of energy and excited to start his life with his forever family. He probably jumped at every opportunity to go for a walk or run around the dog park with his furry friends. As your dog ages, though, you might have noticed that he’s ready to go home sooner than he used to be. Maybe he avoids going for walks or no longer wants to play with other dogs. That’s because dogs, like humans, slow down as they reach their senior years.

In a perfect world, we’d all be able to take our dogs with us wherever we go. Fortunately, Aberdeen is an incredibly dog-friendly city and there’s always somewhere to take your furry friend. As our dogs get older, though, they start to slow down and might not be able to handle big days out on the town. That’s why Dog Quality created the Dogger Buggy: a stroller for your pup so you never have to leave home with her.

When an older dog has a seizure, it’s scary, especially if they don’t have a history of them. I know from experience with my own senior dogs. However, it may give you peace of mind to know that dog seizures aren’t painful for your pooch. Of course, your dog might feel a sense of panic and confusion but during the actual seizure, they won’t be in pain. Learn the symptoms and what you should do if your dog is having a seizure in our blog.

London is one of the most dog-friendly cities in the world. I love that with so much to see and do, dogs can join in the fun with their humans. However, for senior dogs, mobility problems can put a damper on getting around, which is where our Dogger dog buggy comes in. Not only will it allow your older dog to continue to enjoy the excitement and exercise of walks, it’s extremely versatile. I designed it as an all-terrain, pet jogging buggy so it’s outstanding for smoothly and comfortably navigating any environment. It works equally as well indoors, for casual strolls or to keep small or senior dogs out of harm’s way in crowded environments as it does for hiking and jogging. So, if you plan on exploring a city like London, be sure to bring your Dogger along to help maximize the fun for you and your pooch. Not sure where to start? We've got 7 great dog-friendly spots in London to take your Dogger for a spin...

Dog owners choose to purchase a Dogger for their older or disabled pooch for many different reasons. Often a four-legged family member is having trouble walking and/or vision loss, and that is the obvious motivation to bring a buggy home. However, there are many more reasons beyond the gift of mobility. Often owners of healthy canines and young pups are enjoying the Dogger as well. To explain further, we've got the top 10 reasons to use the Dogger dog buggy below.

I firmly believe in staying active and having adventures with your dog as they age. In fact, exercise and mental stimulation from walks are even more important in a dog’s senior years. It helps keep them young and wards off obesity, depression and other health issues. So, when my own senior dogs began experiencing mobility issues, I looked into pet buggies as a solution. While there were plenty on the market, there weren’t any that were geared towards older dogs or that could handle all kinds of terrain. Since I live in British Columbia, Canada, taking advantage of the outdoors and the hiking opportunities is important to me. I also love running with my dogs. So, something durable that would work just as well for a jog as it would on a mountainous hiking trail was a must. Eventually, after trying different products and having no luck, I took matters into my own hands and started my company, Dog Quality.
