To make walks more enjoyable for your senior dog, shorten the distance and let them take their time sniffing around.\u00a0Short walks with plenty of sniff time are a great way to get your dog some exercise and mental stimulation. You can also try using a snuffle mat, which is a fabric mat with pockets that you can hide treats in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Swimming:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Swimming is a great low-impact exercise for senior dogs.
