TopDog Health produces a line of potent veterinarian formulated canine joint supplements to assist with your dog’s orthopedic recovery, age-related or genetic joint issues, and lifelong joint health. TopDog Health provides physical therapy guides, instructional videos, and other support materials for owners to help their dogs before and following orthopedic surgery or that are suffering from age-related or genetic joint health issues. All guides, videos, and support materials are based on the principle foundations of physical therapy and cover the breadth and scope of orthopedic surgeries, conditions, surgery-recovery, and general health best practices. TopDog Health has also developed a veterinarian-formulated line of canine joint health supplements to assist with orthopedic recovery, sold directly through its website and other online retailers.

Recheck appointments go fast, and it's easy to walk out and remember the question you meant to ask.

Four worth writing down beforehand: is it healing on schedule, what can we add now (stairs and the sofa included), when can they go off-leash and how do we build up to it, and what should make me call before the next check.

The week-by-week guides cover what usually comes next: https://topdoghealth.com/rehab-guides/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=tdh_oct26&utm_content=oct30_recheck

Saturday is Halloween, the busiest night of the year at the front door.

For a dog in recovery, or a senior who startles, that means a plan: a quiet back room, a sign on the door so nobody rings, and candy kept well out of reach. Chocolate and anything with xylitol are toxic to dogs. If you think they've eaten some, call your vet or an animal poison line straight away.

Every TopDog guide includes printable door signs: https://topdoghealth.com/rehab-guides/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=tdh_oct26&utm_content=oct26_halloween

Once the mornings turn cold, plenty of owners notice their dog is slower out of bed.

Four small changes help: a slow five-minute warm-up before anything faster, a mat where they land, a towel after wet walks, and an eye on the winter weight.

Stiffness that doesn't ease after a few minutes of walking is worth a vet visit.

Natalie's whippet Domino had cruciate surgery. At the end of week 12 she wrote to us:

"Throughout it all we stuck very close to your rehab book. Weeks 11-12 are where he really caught up. He is right where he should be now at the end of week 12."

Recovery doesn't move in a straight line. Some weeks look like nothing is happening. Then it catches up.

"Luxating patella." Two words from the vet, and a lot of questions.

Here's the plain version: the kneecap slips out of its groove, then usually slips back. You might see a skip in the step, a few strides on three legs, then nothing. Your vet grades it, and the grade shapes the plan.

If surgery is on the table, the free MPL guide explains the recovery week by week: https://topdoghealth.com/rehab_guides/download-mpl-home-rehab-guide/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=tdh_oct26&utm_content=oct16_mpl

Wednesday is Pet Obesity Awareness Day, so here's Dr. James's body condition chart.

It shows the same dog at every score from 1 (very thin) to 9 (morbidly obese). Look from the side, look from above, feel the ribs, then compare. The TopDog target zone is 4 to 5.

No scale, and no judgement. Weight creeps up on dogs we see every day, partly because we see them every day.
