Joint pain tends to get worse if it is not addressed. Make sure to have your dog examined by your veterinarian if they are showing signs of pain. Early intervention is best!
Be sure to check with your veterinarian if there are any changes in the way your dog is moving around. Difficulty doing common things such as climbing the stairs or taking walks can be a sign of joint pain.
Always keep in mind the surface you’re walking your pet on. Ground that is too hard or too soft could be tougher on joints, especially for older dogs!
As our pets age, their risk for joint problems increases. Ouch! You can help slow this process by making sure your pet has regular exercise, a good diet and medications or supplements when recommended by your veterinarian.
Swimming can be a fun and useful tool to keep your pet active! It puts much less pressure on their joints, which can help your pet receive the benefits of exercise without the strain.
Regular exercise is a key way of preventing joint problems in our pets! What’s your favorite way of keeping your pet active?
