Let’s say that you want a dog companion but don’t feel able to own a very energetic dog that needs a lot of walking outside and a lot of running around. And having an athletic dog is even harder when you are a senior.

Hopefully, you are lucky because there are many dog breeds out there that are total couch potatoes. They don’t need a lot of exercise and would rather stay inside than go out and explore the world.

And more than that, besides the fact that they are not very keen on physical activity, these dogs are really low-maintenance. With little grooming needs and not many health problems, these breeds are perfect for any senior who wants to own a canine companion!
