As our beloved dogs age, they experience many of the same physical and emotional changes we do. From stiff joints and slowed digestion to increased stress and restless nights, senior dogs often need a little extra support to stay happy, healthy, and comfortable. Fortunately, a holistic approach to pet wellness can provide meaningful relief, especially when combined with high-quality, natural wellness products like those from Green Gorilla.
In this blog, we’ll explore how to support aging dogs naturally, including expert-backed strategies and how Green Gorilla’s USDA Certified Organic CBD oil and hip & joint supplements can help your senior pet thrive.
Understanding the Aging Dog
Senior dogs typically begin showing signs of aging between 7 and 10 years old, depending on their breed and size. Larger breeds often age faster, while smaller dogs may retain their vitality longer. Common issues include:
- Joint stiffness or reduced flexibility
- Stress or confusion (canine cognitive dysfunction)
- Decreased mobility
- Digestive issues
- Nighttime restlessness or disrupted sleep
These changes can affect your dog’s quality of life, but they don’t have to lead to discomfort. Natural pet wellness solutions exist to help your furry companion age with ease.
Why Natural Remedies Make Sense for Senior Dogs
More pet parents are turning to holistic alternatives to support their dogs’ well-being. Natural ingredients like full-spectrum hemp CBD, glucosamine, omega-3 fatty acids, and herbal extracts are popular for their gentle yet effective support.
According to the American Kennel Club, cannabidiol (CBD) shows promise in supporting dogs’ mobility, promoting relaxation, and helping with inflammatory response.* While research is ongoing, many pet owners have seen noticeable improvements in their senior dogs’ movement and daily comfort.
Joint Support: Keep Them Moving Comfortably
Joint challenges are a top concern for aging dogs. Signs may include reluctance to climb stairs, limping, or decreased enthusiasm for play and walks.
Green Gorilla’s Natural Wellness Solutions:
- Organic CBD Oil for Dogs (1500mg or 450mg): Our premium full-spectrum hemp CBD oil is USDA Certified Organic and formulated to support joint mobility and comfort by addressing your dog’s natural inflammatory response.*
- CBD Hip & Joint Chews: These functional chews combine naturally occurring CBD with glucosamine, chondroitin, and turmeric—powerful ingredients known to support joint structure and flexibility.
These wellness tools work together to keep your senior dog active and comfortable.
Encouraging Calm and Nighttime Relaxation
Aging can bring about restlessness or heightened sensitivity to routine changes, especially at night. CBD oil for dogs is often used to promote a calm demeanor and balanced behavior.
CBD for Senior Dog Wellness
Green Gorilla’s CBD supports relaxation by interacting with your dog’s endocannabinoid system, encouraging balance in the nervous system. This can help your dog:
- Feel more at ease during transitions, storms, or separations
- Sleep more soundly through the night
- Maintain a relaxed, consistent mood*
Wellness Tip: Add a few drops of Green Gorilla CBD oil to your dog’s evening routine to encourage rest. Use daily and tailor dosage by your pet’s weight and needs.
Digestive Support for Better Nutrient Absorption
Digestion often slows with age, leading to appetite changes, discomfort, or irregularity. Supporting your dog’s gut health is key to their vitality.
While Green Gorilla doesn’t yet offer a digestive-specific product, our CBD oil’s role in promoting a healthy inflammatory response may indirectly support digestive comfort and nutrient absorption.*
Daily Routines for Senior Dog Wellness
In addition to natural supplements, lifestyle routines support your dog’s longevity and overall health:
- Gentle daily walks or low-impact activities to maintain mobility
- Routine veterinary visits to monitor aging-related health shifts
- Orthopedic bedding to reduce joint pressure
- Enrichment toys that promote mental sharpness and engagement
Paired with Green Gorilla CBD products, these routines support a happier, healthier aging journey.
Choosing the Right CBD Oil for Senior Dogs
Quality and purity are essential when choosing a CBD oil for your dog. Look for:
USDA Certified Organic hemp ingredients
Independent lab testing to confirm potency and purity
THC Free formula to leverage the natural synergy of cannabinoids (entourage effect)
Simple, clean carrier oils like extra virgin olive oil
Green Gorilla CBD oil for dogs checks all these boxes. It’s crafted for effectiveness and backed by a commitment to organic, non-GMO, and clean-label ingredients.
