How to Modify Your Home for an Elderly Pet
Our dogs and cats are not just pets, but family members. As they age, of course, they need more support from us. Just as people benefit from simple home modifications that offset aging, so do our furry family members. Redfin, a customer-first real estate brokerage, put their real estate and pet experts together to discuss the best ways to modify your home for an elderly pet.

Don’t Be APRIL FOOLED Regarding Your Pet’s Health by Denise Fleck
Has your pup's tail ever been closed in a door, or have you discovered ticks on your gorgeous long-haired pooch? What would you do if you found a dog in a parked car on a warm day (anything above 70°F is considered too warm)?
Coco
At 15 years old, Coco found himself without a family. His owners were an elderly couple - the wife passed away a few years ago and the husband developed dementia.

Puzon
This sweet, nine-year-old, long-haired Dachshund mix has had some drama in his life. In his younger years, Puzon was attacked by another dog who severed his esophagus, which has made it difficult for him to eat ever since. Then as a senior dog, the only family he’d ever known was moving and surrendered him to Anchorage Animal Care & Control instead of taking him along.
