🐾 Signs of Trouble 🐾

Sometimes these signs get overlooked but here's a gentle reminder:

❌ Fatigue = slowing down on walks, dragging nails, trembling muscles
❌ Pain = limping, sitting down mid-walk, avoiding activities altogether

Knowing the difference is SO important for your dog’s health. Aging or injured pets often keep pushing past their point of discomfort, which can make things worse.

💛 If you notice any of these signs, stop and check in with your vet. Early intervention means better long-term outcomes for your dog.

💛 Things I've learnt 💛

As a Canine Physio, I’ve seen time and time again how small, proactive steps make a BIG difference to a dog’s comfort, mobility and happiness as they age 🐾

From breed-specific education, to keeping them lean, to spotting the early signs of arthritis.... the sooner you start, the better their quality of life will be.

If you want to stay ahead of joint issues or support your dog through arthritis, I’ve designed a digital course just for you.

❤️‍🩹 Limping = Pain ❤️‍🩹

🚨 If your dog is limping, they’re in pain — always. 🚨

It’s a common misconception that if a dog isn’t crying or yelping, they’re not hurting. But dogs are masters at hiding discomfort.

In this reel, the dog is showing pain through her back right leg which you can see in the excessive hip movement on that side.

👀 Be observant and act early if you ever notice your dog moving like this. Early intervention can make all the difference.

💪🏼 Keep them strong 💪

Don’t wait until your dog is older or injured to start strength work!

Building strength early helps your dog stay mobile, confident, and pain-free as they age. From ramps and balance work to gentle strengthening exercises, these small routines make a huge difference over time.

Strong muscles = better joint support, improved balance, and less risk of injury.

🐾 Whether your dog is young, active, or slowing down, movement is medicine and it’s never too early to start.

❌ Joint Pain ❌

Osteoarthritis is the most common condition we see at TDWC and it can be really tough to manage.

Are you caring for a dog with OA? What's been the hardest part?

-Keeping them comfortable?
-Finding treatments that actually help?
-Not knowing what comes next?

To help you care for your dogs joints, I have created a digital course which is designed to:
✅ Help manage osteoarthritis in dogs already living with it

✅ Reduce the risk of joint issues before they even start

🚨 Folks, the sooner we take action, the better 🚨

Avoid regret and empower yourself with a set of skills to track your dogs musculoskeletal health, keep them strong and away from pain - its the best way to protect their joints now and for their future.

🔥 Pro Tip 🔥

Don’t wait until your dog is older or injured to introduce them to a ramp or stairs! And a common question we get is which is better?

Ramps are gentler on joints and perfect for seniors, small breeds or dogs with arthritis.

Stairs take up less space and work well for young, healthy dogs with no mobility issues 🐾 🏃‍♂️

Go with their natural preference and choose what keeps your pup safe and comfortable ❤️

🔥 Gym time 🔥

This exercise isn't just about building muscle. It's about maintaining healthy posture, control & protecting your dog from injury 🐾 ✨

Why shoulder strength matters:

✅ Dogs carry 60% of their body weight on the front limbs
✅Shoulders absorb impact during running, jumping & sudden stops
✅ Strong muscles here help prevent:

• Overuse injuries
• Painful compensations when rear limbs are weak

Save for use in the future

🐾 Hind Limb Checks 🐾

Flexibility is a key part of healthy movement.

Here I'm giving the hind leg a gentle mobility check to assess range of motion and comfort.

Assessing this helps us spot tightness, weakness or early signs of discomfort that might otherwise go unnoticed.

These small checks make a big difference in keeping dogs active, pain-free, and full of life 💛

Routine assessments = proactive care 🙌

👀 Hip issues 👀

Can you see the abnormal curve in the spine here?

Tight and overactive muscles can pull a dog's spine into an unhealthy curve causing pain & poor posture over time.

Check out our previous reels to learn simple hip stretches you can do at home.
