Do dogs hearing get bad as they get older?

Monday, 24 September 2007

My dog seems to be going deaf, he is 6 years old and just does not seem to hear. He certainly was not born deaf. Do dogs hearing get bad as they get older? Answer: I am afraid that most of our dogs hearing start to deteriorate from about 5 years of age. About forty five per cent are deaf by the age of ten years. Like us, as our dogs get older the eyes and hearing deteriorate.
