Top 25 Dog Breeds For Seniors & Elderly - Low Maintenance + Don't Shed

I'm an elderly lady and I have a shih Tzu and he's perfect he wants to be by his mommy all the time.

I am an elderly lady,but could not live without my Huskys.

I'm 71 and own 2 Keeshonds and 2 black German Shepherds. The shepherds go to the park daily and go for 2 or 3 mile walks several times a week too. I needed walking buddies.

Bichon Frise is incorrectly pronounced as "bacon fries" in this video. Too funny! It should be pronounced more like "bee-SHON free-ZAY". I sure love my Bichon! A lovely, smart, gentle, and playful companion dog with very soft coat that doesn't shed.

I live with Japanese Chin. Was a lap dog centuries ago. Still is. She is a love bug and my mom and Trixie were best buddys. My mother who 80 when she moved in with us didn't want a dog. That lasted 2 days. For over 8 years they were so good for each other.

Bichon Frise is pronounced BeeShawn Freez A, it;s a french pronunciation.

I stopped at 18 all but one of these dogs has long coats requiring alot of maintenance I've seen many videos of what they look like when not groomed regularly which cost money that a lot of seniors don't have. Stick with the short coats. Anna In Ohio

The title says "low maintenance + don't shed" but this list includes dogs requiring high maintenance.

I have a boston terriers and my grandparents love her

I can't believe the chihuahua didn't make this list. And the frequent mispronunciation of dog breed names is very annoying.

I’ve had 4 Westies and a Westie X Jack Russell every one a gem, easy chair (with a short coat), loving, and just energetic enough for fun. Brilliant wee dogs

I have a Teddybear she is wonderful ! I'm 72 she is so smart ! Life is great !

My short hair Chihuahua(9lbs) is the perfect pet for my senior self. She is my baby girl n very vocal if she hears anyone near my door.

Although I haven't had a Yorkie, I marvel at their well-behaved manners & wouldn't rule out having one.

my scottish lived for 16 years. that's 4 years more than it's said. and he was highly trainable. very obedient and smart. I could take him anywhere and he would be just cool and happy. best dog. strongly recommend.

I had a Shih-Tzu named Buster. He was a good boy.

Well it was great until I got to The Great Pyrenees. Being a senior with a Great Pyrenees that I adore, I sure wouldn't recommend him for seniors. Mine is old like me, but he has pulled me down and dragged me. As much as I love him and love the breed, I'm pretty sure at my age I won't be getting another. My problem is that he is very opinionated. He loves some dogs, but woe is me when he sees one he doesn't like (usually specific breeds). If he doesn't pull me down he does wrench my arthritic shoulder. They are not biddable and if given the chance will go for long walkabouts. So it's fenced (at least 6 feet - they climb) or a leash and good halter on walks. If he likes another dog he's great. Even for younger folks this breed isn't recommended as a first or easy dog. They are quite independent and stubborn if they think they should be doing something other than what you asked them to do. They were bred to guard livestock and that's what they do best.. From the breed description, what I described isn't unusual.

If you get any dog for a Senior make sure you can take them when they pass ♥️ 1 Cost high for grooming with long hair breeders.That Older people may fall over the dogs.

Phonics? vs French ?...Bicken Fries?🤣😂🤣Peck-en- gees? You're killing me Smalls😛

Would be nice if narrative was pronouncing the breeds correctly!
