🐾 Winter and Arthritis in Pets 🐾
As the colder months settle in, you may notice your furry friends slowing down a little more than usual. Cold weather can make arthritis and joint pain worse in both dogs and cats, especially in our older pets.
Signs to look out for include:
❄️ Stiffness, especially after resting
❄️ Reluctance to jump or climb stairs
❄️ Limping or slowing down on walks
❄️ Changes in behaviour
❄️ Sleeping more than usual
There are many ways we can help keep your pets comfortable through winter, including pain relief, joint supplements, weight management, and simple changes at home like warm bedding and gentle exercise.
If you think your pet may be showing signs of arthritis or joint discomfort, please contact our team on 6360 4553 or book an appointment through our website so we can assess their mobility and help keep them comfortable throughout the colder months 🐾
