Labrador Retriever
Labs are well known to be friendly and intelligent dogs, which is why they make great companions for seniors, provided they can get all the exercise they need. For a large dog, they need to have a large space to be able to move around. So, we don’t think it’s advisable to keep them in a small apartment unless you can provide them with a nice yard that they’ll surely appreciate. The Labrador Retriever is a loyal and loving breed that makes a great watchdog.
Miniature Schnauzer
The Miniature Schnauzer is well-suited for seniors who like to keep themselves busy and active. They are sweet and gentle dogs that need plenty of exercises –as an owner of a Miniature Schnauzer, and you’ll have to keep up with its activeness and will have you do some exercising as well. Moreover, expect some routine grooming to make sure their coats are always healthy and clean.
