My 18 year-old lab-mix is a big boy. He weighs about 30-40kgs(?)
He is having trouble with his back and back legs but he is in no pain.I’m working on supports for when we take him for a walk, but now I’m looking at ways to make our home for accommodating for him to get around.

I also bought a lifted thingy for his food and water so he doesn’t have to bend so low.
What else can I do to make him more comfortable?
