My miniature poodle is 10 years old now any health concerns?

Is there any health concerns like heart problems or behavior problems this last half decade of his life.
i take him out twice a day and he always tired not exhausted but a good walk.
Just get a good thorough check up at the vets. Get him tested for PRA and all that, if he hasn’t been already. Though i doubt it’d be a big deal if he did go blind because you’d love him anyway. Get his joints checked out etc etc
Best thing to do is take the dog to the vet for a full senior health check.
There is no way we can know the health or behaviour of your dog.

It is in your poodle’s best interest to have your vet do a physical exam and a senior blood work panel. These will help know what health concerns you may face.
I do know that as a dog ages, arthritis does become a concern. Older dogs are also prone to dental problems, kidney failure, liver and heart diseases and cancers.
A check up will benefit your dog and provide you with peace of mind. Good luck.
