Labrador Retriever
Labs are well known to be friendly, intelligent dogs, and yes, it is true. These are qualities that make them great companions for seniors, provided they can get the exercise they need. It wouldn’t be fair to coop these large dogs in an apartment, but if you have a nice yard, they’ll be very happy. The breed is loyal, loving, and makes a great watchdog.
Miniature Schnauzer
This is a dog breed you’ll often find in a city. The Miniature Schnauzer is well-suited for seniors. While they need plenty of exercise, they’re sweet and gentle dogs. To make sure their coats are healthy and clean, they do need some routine grooming.
