🐕 Is Your Dog Showing Signs of Arthritis? Here’s What to Look For!
An estimated 40% of dogs suffer from arthritis, a painful joint condition that often goes unnoticed. 🐾 Arthritis commonly affects older dogs, but younger dogs aren’t immune. It’s usually caused by natural wear and tear, injuries, or joint issues like hip dysplasia.
Symptoms to Watch For: Dogs are experts at hiding pain, so a limp or whimper isn’t always obvious. Look out for signs like:
✔️ Slowing down
✔️ Stiffness, especially in the morning or after rest
✔️ Reluctance to jump or climb stairs
Our team can help make life more comfortable for your pup! 🏡 Simple steps at home like shorter walks on non-slip floors and a cozy bed can make a big difference. If you’ve noticed changes in your dog’s mobility, get in touch for a health check. Together, we can find the best way to manage their pain. 🩺💙
