West Highland Terrier
With seniors, Terriers seem to be a popular choice. The West Highland Terrier is one of the popular ones since it has a nice temperament and is a good lap dog. Not to mention, this breed is suited for apartment living and only needs an hour of exercise every day. Despite having a soft fur coat, you won’t need to do too much grooming.
Cavalier King Charles Spaniel
For years and years, the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel has been a royalty favorite, and to this day, they’re still adorable little lap dogs. Typically, they don’t grow larger than 18 lbs and can adapt to most living situations pretty easily. You just have to bathe them once a week and brush them carefully to keep their soft fur healthy.
