Together, We Lift Every Dog’s Spirit

It all began with a quiet moment. Walt Stewart sat with an older dog, its eyes shining with silent stories, inspiring him to treasure every wag and every challenge.
That small moment grew into MyPremiumPaw over 20 years ago, born from Walt’s big love for dogs and a dream to improve their lives. Moved by the strength of a senior dog, the grace of a pampered pup, and the bravery of a special-needs companion, he created a place of exceptional care.
From those humble beginnings, Walt’s passion grew into a mission: to provide owners with easy, premium tips and tools that can turn hard times into happy ones.
Today, with a dedicated global team of vets, trainers, and dog lovers, we’ve built more than a brand we’ve built a warm community, a home for those who see their dogs as part of their hearts.

Caring for Your Canine Companion

Does ignoring for 2–3 minutes hurt feelings? +

It shouldn’t if you pair it with immediate, warm reinforcement for paws-down or a cued sit/place. Most dogs catch on fast when calm behavior = attention.

Can I keep big, joyful hellos? +

Yes keep the joy, change the mechanics. Crouch/sit, cue “place,” or hand the toy first, then celebrate.

What about guests? +

Leash on before opening the door, cue “place,” reward, then release to greet calmly.

When is a dog considered a senior? +

Around 6–7 for large breeds, 10–12 for small ones. But you’ll know by changes: slower walks, more naps, drinking more water.

How often should senior dogs see the vet? +

Every 6 months even if they seem fine. Blood work and urine tests can catch problems before symptoms appear.

What should I feed my senior dog? +

High-quality protein, fewer calories, and easy-to-digest food. Fresh food or vet-approved homemade meals can help picky eaters.

Is it okay to feel frustrated when caring for a senior dog? +

Yes. You’re human. Your dog doesn’t judge you. Just keep showing up. That’s what love looks like even on hard days.

Is Blue Buffalo Senior Dog Food suitable for all senior dogs? +

Most senior dogs thrive on Blue Buffalo Senior Dog Food, but every pup is unique. If your dog has allergies or specific health issues, consult your vet to pick the right formula.
