What dog breeds make good companions for the elderly?

Typically from what I heard and from what I found from research, small, kind, and cute dogs are definitely more suitable for the elderly than the bigger dogs, for obvious reasons, if small dogs get sick, it will be easier for an elderly person to take the dog to the vet. Also, smaller dogs are not as aggressive so they do not scare the elderly as much. Also, because elderly people are looking for companion and friendship, it is much better if you have a small, cute, and friendly dog by your side.

Here are the specific kinds of dogs I suggest to you. Schnauzer. The standard and miniature schnauzer are wonderful pets for seniors.

They are super cute, and they are eager to please and to keep his family safe, easy to take care of, easy to maintain, and they love human companionship.

Miniature or toy poodles - These are the breed of choice for owners who want to pamper their dog. Poodles also love human companionship, and they are relatively easy to train, however, a downside to the poodle is that they need a moderate amount of exercise.
