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. A few months ago, the husband had to move into a facility that did not accept Coco and no family members were able to take him in. What’s a senior Dachshund to do?
Hetzel
Hetzel is an older gal and has had quite the journey since being rescued by Brother Wolf Animal Rescue (BWAR) last October. She was one of the dogs evacuated from the Marion County Animal Shelter (South Carolina) in advance of Hurricane Matthew.
