The Dog Expert Podcast - Season 3, Episode 3 - Aging Gracefully with Prof Carri Westgarth

As our dogs live longer, the real question becomes: how well do they age? In this episode, we speak with Prof Carri Westgarth, lead researcher behind the Ageing Canine Toolkit - a resource designed to help guardians and veterinary teams differentiate normal aging from potential disease and support better quality of life in senior dogs. You’ll learn: How the toolkit was developed from owner and vet research Key health and behavioural signs to monitor using the traffic‑light checklist What changes are “red flags” and when to seek veterinary care Practical strategies to support mobility, cognition, comfort, and wellbeing in aging dogs How to use the toolkit as a conversation bridge with vets Whether your dog is entering their golden years or you’re preparing ahead, this episode gives you the tools to see aging not as decline but as a stage to support with clarity, empathy, and intention. 🎙️ New to streaming or looking to level up?
