A dog's 15 years old is equivalent to a human's 78-80 years old. Dogs at this stage are already in their old age, and their overall health will deteriorate, and their various functions will gradually decline. The resistance will also be much worse than before. The owner should take the dog to the pet hospital for physical examination regularly, pay attention to the balanced diet and nutrition, and keep the dog in a certain amount of exercise properly. This can effectively maintain the dog’s physical condition. If you want to prolong the life of your dog, you still need the careful care of the owner.

How to tell your dog's age:
1. Look at the dog's teeth. Dogs under two months old only have deciduous teeth. The deciduous teeth of puppies will fall off and give birth to permanent teeth in 5-7 months after birth.
2. Look at the dog's eyes. The eyes of puppies are usually very clear without impurities, while the eyes of dogs in youth are bright and resolute, very energetic. When dogs enter old age, they are likely to suffer from cataracts.
3. Look at the dog's body shape. As dogs age, muscles change. You can put your hands on either side of the spine on the dog's back and gently touch it. As the dog grows fat, fat usually appears in the lower back or waist of the dog. And there will be slight muscle atrophy.
4. Watch the dog's facial expressions. Dogs aged about 1 year old have active expressions, and dogs aged 2-4 years old love to be close to people, energetic and enthusiastic. Elderly dogs over 7 years old can obviously feel mentally dull, with dull eyes and unwillingness to move.
