This I believe: puppies are mighty cute. And senior dogs get cuter all over again. This is just one of the perks of adopting a senior pet.

If I were to adopt another dog, I would likely get an older one. Keep reading for why I would get an older dog and other perks of older animals.

Older Pet Perks

1. When adopting, you’ll know about pet personality. And if you are unsure, shelter staff should be able to help and guide you.
2. Older pets typically don’t require as much constant monitoring and training as a kitten or puppy.
3. Most older pets are already house-trained.
4. Most older pets are calmer than their younger counterparts. More relaxed=easier for everyone.
5. Senior pets are certainly as loving and loyal than younger animals, plus many are so grateful to have found you.
6. Older dogs often know basic commands, which means you can work on fun tricks with them instead of just teaching them the basics.

Senior Pet Photography Sessions

I offer senior pet photography sessions for older animals. These are for animals who have limited mobility and energy. These sessions take place at your home and are shorter than most pet photography sessions.

If your pet is in great health, I recommend a full pet photography session instead!
