At what age is my 7-year-old Chiweenie considered a senior dog?

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 6 years and 10 months old | 12 lbs

Hi there. I have a Chiweenie I adopted about 4 months ago. She is almost 7 years old. I think having someone come to the house is the best option for her to get her vaccines. She did not do well when I took her to the vet. Needless to say she still needs her vaccines. Is she considered a senior dog?

Riley will not be considered a senior dog until she is nine years old. Some would estimate as early as eight years. Housecalls may be possible in your area. I recommend to go online and look for a veterinarian who performs house calls. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.
