The Miniature Schnauzer can often be seen in big cities. While it’s an active breed that needs plenty of exercise, it’s very sweet and gentle.
These Schnauzers will also need some routine grooming in order to keep their coat clean and healthy.
Beagle
Beagles are quite notorious for being noisy, but in fact, many senior care experts recommend this dog breed to them.
Beagles are very playful, which will keep their owners active, and will keep the grandkids entertained. You also won't have to constantly be sweeping up fur and it requires minimal grooming.
Havanese
Havanese is another breed seniors would appreciate. It's small, playful, and sharp. And it only needs a moderate amount of exercise a day. Havanese just adore their owners, so you'll have one cute clingy pet at your legs.
Its abundant thick fur is fairly easy to maintain with regular brushing. Fun fact, Havanese is the national dog of Cuba!
Goldendoodle
When combining two affectionate dog breeds, it's hard to compete with the Goldendoodle. The breed is a mix between a poodle and a Golden Retriever, so you can just imagine what a gorgeous dog this is.
If you are not the outdoorsy type then we wouldn't recommend this breed to you because the playful Goldendoodle needs plenty of exercise, and should be taken outside rather often.
Chihuahua
The popular Chihuahua is known for being tiny but mighty. This faithful companion loves sitting in your lap and is very loyal to its owners. The long-coated Chihuahuas are super cute, and despite the extra fur, they require minimal grooming.
And because they don't require much exercise, short walks are perfect for them. Believe us, they'll get enough physical activity just by jumping up and down your lap.
