The companionship of “man’s best friend” becomes even more welcome as people transition into their golden years. Beyond companionship, research has found that dogs can reduce feelings of loneliness, as well as be trained as assistance dogs for diseases specific to the elderly population, such as Alzheimer’s and dementia.
However, the responsibilities of dog ownership can overwhelm the elderly. A high-energy dog that would be perfect for someone with an active lifestyle might be too much for the less able-bodied. In order to find the ideal pooch, a unique set of criteria is used to reflect the different needs of the older generations.
To determine which breeds are the best fit for senior owners, the data scientists at PetBreeds ranked dog breeds based on the following factors:
size (smaller dogs are easier to manage)
energy level (low energy levels require less activity)
health (dogs with fewer health problems are easier to maintain)
As a result of these criteria, dog breeds ranked higher tend to be generally healthy, calm and on the smaller side.
