Helping to maintain independence as people and pets age is one of the most meaningful and impactful roles we can fulfill as caregivers. Let's explore the many benefits of promoting independence and how it can lead to happier, healthier lives for everyone involved.
Why do people default to the negative when they meet a senior or a special needs dog? Often the first comments people make point out what is wrong rather than what is right. It happens so often that I had to consider that maybe there's a scientific reason for this response - turns out there is and it's called the negativity bias!
Life is hard and we all do what we can to find joy during some incredibly challenging times. I am no exception, but thankfully I have my dogs to make me smile and laugh.

As hard as it is, every dog parent knows that their beloved pet will one day no longer be with them. But we rarely think about the possibility that our pets might outlive us. No one wants to think about leaving their pets behind, but the reality is that our dogs are living longer. It’s important to plan ahead for the worst to give your pet the best possible future.

That’s why we created our Dogger dog stroller: it allows you to give your pup the support she needs so she can come with you on every adventure.
