Wellness Wednesday: Joint Health Tips for Dogs
💧 1. Hydration = Healthy Joints
> Just like us, dogs’ joints need fluid to move smoothly! Make sure your pup always has access to fresh water — hydration helps cushion joints and support mobility.
🐾 Bonus Tip: Add a splash of low-sodium bone broth for picky drinkers!
🥦 2. Keep Them Lean
> Carrying extra weight puts added stress on your dog’s joints — especially hips and knees. Keeping your pup at a healthy weight is one of the best things you can do for long-term mobility.
🐾 Try This: You should be able to feel (but not see) your dog’s ribs easily.
🐕🦺 3. Gentle, Regular Exercise
> Consistent, low-impact movement keeps joints flexible and muscles strong. Go for daily walks, light swimming, or controlled play — avoid long bouts of high-impact fetch on hard ground.
🐾 Agility lovers: Always warm up before and cool down after runs!
🍗 4. Support from the Inside
> Joint supplements like glucosamine, chondroitin, omega-3s, and turmeric can help protect cartilage and ease stiffness over time.

⚡ 5. Try PEMF Therapy
> PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) therapy helps increase circulation, reduce inflammation, and promote natural healing in joint tissues — giving dogs more comfort and mobility without medication.
🐾 It’s gentle, relaxing, and safe for dogs of all ages.
💤 6. Provide Soft, Supportive Bedding
> A comfortable, orthopedic bed helps reduce pressure on joints and keeps your pup cozy. Avoid cold, hard floors — especially for seniors or arthritic dogs.
🐾 Bonus: Try placing the bed in a warm, draft-free area.
🪜 7. Help Them Avoid Slips and Strains
> Slippery floors are hard on older dogs’ joints. Add rugs or non-slip mats where your pup walks most. Ramps and stairs also make getting into cars or onto couches easier.
🐾 Small change, big relief!
🌿 8. Schedule Regular Check-Ins
> Early detection is key! Routine vet visits can help catch stiffness or joint changes before they become painful.
🐾 The sooner you act, the better the outcome for long-term mobility.
💚 9. Rest and Recovery Matter
> After big play sessions or training, let your dog rest. Muscles and joints need downtime to repair and stay strong.
🐾 PEMF therapy sessions are perfect for recovery days!
