A Dedicated Community That Gets Senior Dogs
Support, education, and heartfelt connection — built for groomers, animal care professionals, and for people who know what it’s like to lift tired hips, spoon out meds, or say goodbye with grace.
We’re here for the hard stuff, the good stuff, and everything in between.
No ego. No judgment. Just real support.
You’re Not Alone -
But It Sure Can Feel That Way
Caring for an aging dog is sacred work — but it’s also heavy, uncertain, and often invisible to the outside world.
You’re navigating late-night Googles, rising vet bills, and heartbreaking “what ifs.” You're doing your best — but it can feel like you're doing it alone.
That’s why we built this. A space just for us — the ones showing up, day after day, with love, worry, and hope in equal measure.
What You Get Inside the Grey Whiskers Community
1. Support Circles & Peer Threads
Small-group spaces and ongoing discussion threads where you can process, vent, share wins, and feel seen — whether you’re caring for a grey muzzle or grieving a loss.
2. Health & Wellness Guidance
Real-life conversations and curated tips on vet care, supplements, diet, gentle exercise, mental stimulation, and more — from both professionals and your peers.
3. End-of-Life & Emotional Support
Compassionate, judgment-free spaces to talk through quality-of-life decisions, anticipatory grief, and life after goodbye.
4. Professional Insights & Resource Sharing
Ask questions, get referrals, and share knowledge about vets, groomers, home modifications, financial aid, and trustworthy senior dog care tools.
Our Purpose
"To create a community that unites those who love and work with senior dogs, without ego or competition, through specialized education and supportive resources, allowing senior dogs to thrive with comfort and joy."
​
I’m Angela Dinsmoor, and I’ve spent over 20 years in the pet care world, combining my background in gerontology with a deep passion for animals—especially senior dogs. I started my career supporting older adults, but it wasn’t long before I realized that aging pets need just as much love, care, and advocacy. Since then, I’ve launched multiple animal care businesses, become a certified dog massage therapist and groomer, and built a life around rescuing and celebrating senior dogs. Today, I run Grey Whiskers, a business devoted to giving older pups the comfort, dignity, and joy they deserve. I write Senior Dog Digest, a heartfelt (and occasionally cheeky) newsletter for pet lovers like me. Everything I do is rooted in compassion, purpose, and a whole lot of love for the grey-muzzled companions who’ve captured my heart.
