When dogs and cats get very old, is their skin wrinkly like ours under their fur?

If not, maybe they hold the secret to youthful skin for me.

Just inspected my 15 year old dog and his skin is about the same as when he was a pup. He didn`t appreciate it as he`s giving it the zzzzzz`s on the settee. His fur is not a shiny as it was. he`s certainly greyer and wizened but his coat has certainly protected him from the elements.

A lot of the time old dogs get heavy from moving less, so their skin doesnt wrinkle!
Reply:Not so much, wrinkly, but it certainly becomes dry and tired. Then their coats begin to look dull and in some cases, begin to look like the fur is in tufts.





I don't think they hold the secret of eternal youth, they just age in a different way. Also remember that their skin isn't exposed to the harmful UV rays that humans are afflicted by, they keep their skin covered, in fur!





So, in a way, they might be able to show us how to protect our skin!
Reply:it gets loose so if we could see it then yeah it must be wrinkled.
Reply:No, their skin ages differently than ours, and its on a smaller body.
