I recommend a whole food diet to make sure he receives the best nutrition to support his neuromuscular system as he ages. We provide some suggestions in our article How to Feed Your Dog. Start on the Daily Multi Plus now to help ensure he gets the most nutrition from his diet, and a joint supplement like the Elk Velvet Antler. You could consider the Lion's Mane Mushroom at this time as well if your budget permits.That is it for now. Keep an eye on him and perform the "Knuckling Test" at consistent intervals. This test involves gently curling your dog's rear paw under so the top of the paw is on the ground. Your dog should immediately reset his paw to the proper position and that is a good sign. If there are changes in the speed in which your dog resets his paw it is a sign of neurodegeneration and begin our Degenerative Myelopathy Supplements right away.
