Are both sentences correct?

.
I would use 'for' in #1. #1 can state a potential or actual use for dogs; #2 can state only the actual use-- at least, that is how I read them normally.

1. Dogs provide company to the aged.
2. Dogs keep the aged company.

Are both sentences correct?

Why not say like this:Dogs are good company for the elderly. Or maybe like this:Dogs make wonderful companionsfor the elderly. Cheers, Koh!

The first sentence below was provided by the teacher of English as answer to a comprehension passage quesion. I don't think the answer is grammatically correct and I came out with the second. As Micawber pointed out, it should be 'provide for'

1. Dogs provide company to the aged. ( ... provide ... for ... )
2. Dogs keep the aged company.

However, I would say that your sentences are well-constructed and I like them.

All the best
