Vision problems can affects dogs of all ages. Visually-impaired dogs need all the support and help that their owners can give so they will remain confident and secure. Their quality of life will depend to a large extent on the extra care and consideration given by their owners and how well their other senses compensate for the loss of vision.

Since a blind dog depends on his memory to navigate around the home, you should avoid making any major changes in the orientation of things in the home. 

One sense that becomes more sensitive as a dog develops visual problems is their sense of smell.  They will be able to recognize a member of the pack or tell what part of the house they are in by the scent alone. To avoid any distractions, avoid air fresheners or other strong-smelling products inside the home.

Your visually-impaired pet will benefit from regular wellness checks which are performed by your professional vet Scottsdale, AZ.
