About Senior Paws Guide

Senior black dog with a grey muzzle resting on a sofa

Senior Paws Guide is an independent website about one thing: helping older dogs stay comfortable and mobile for as long as possible.

Who is behind the site

Hi, I’m Quentin Montigny, the founder and owner of Senior Paws Guide. Dogs have been part of my life for more than 25 years, and I am a volunteer member of an animal shelter. Caring for dogs through every stage of their lives, including the slower, stiffer senior years, is what led me to create this site.

I am not a veterinarian, and I never pretend to be one. My role is to dig through the research, veterinary guidance and product details, and turn them into clear, practical advice that owners can actually use, always with a reminder to involve your vet.

What we publish

Practical guides, comparisons and explainers on dog mobility, joint health and everyday senior dog care: ramps and stairs, orthopedic beds, lift harnesses, joint supplements, arthritis, hip dysplasia, limping and nutrition. Every guide is built around the questions dog owners really ask.

How we work

We read the research and veterinary sources that exist on each topic, compare product specifications and ingredients, and explain what we found in plain language, including when the evidence is weak. We do not invent test results or customer stories, and we say clearly when we have not tested a product hands-on. Read more in our editorial policy.

Independent and self-funded

Senior Paws Guide is currently self-funded. No brand pays us to be featured, and no product is recommended because of a business relationship. If that ever changes, we will say so clearly on every page concerned.

Not veterinary advice

Our content is for general information only and never replaces a consultation with your vet, especially if your dog is in pain, limping suddenly or losing mobility. See our medical disclaimer.
