Prevent the formation of mats and ice balls on the fur of the dog. For that you will need to monitor the fur and look for such developments and eliminate should there be the first sign of such cases. Secondly, you need to take the grooming seriously, which will include trimming nails and the fur. Usually, you will find the nails of older dogs to be overgrown. This is problematic because it doesn’t allow them to walk properly. They are prone to breaking and if that happens it can be a painful experience for the dog. It is, hence, essential on your part to take the grooming aspect of the dog quite seriously. 

Most dog owners do not take the dental care of their dogs seriously, but just like human beings are prone to gum disease, dogs too can be afflicted from gum diseases and if gum infections are left untreated for a long time it will eventually lead to the infection spreading over internal organs and also leading to the loss of teeth. In order to prevent this, your vet can conduct an oral test and in case of infection, appropriate medication and measures can be suggested.
