Use Senior Dog Wisdom once your dog enters the last third of their expected lifespan: around age 8-9 for small dogs, 7-8 for medium dogs, and 5-6 for large and giant breeds.

The best time to start is before changes appear - cognitive decline begins gradually and long before the behavioral signs become obvious.
