🐾 Is Your Pet Slowing Down? It Might Be Arthritis. 🐾
Arthritis is more common than many pet owners realize — and pets don’t always cry out in pain. Sometimes the signs are subtle.
🐶 Dogs may show:
• Limping or stiffness, especially after rest
• Difficulty getting up, into the car, or on furniture
• Slower walks or reluctance to exercise
• Behavioral changes like irritability or restlessness
🐱 Cats may show:
• Reduced jumping or climbing
• Hiding more or becoming less social
• Overgrown nails from decreased activity
• Less grooming or a messy coat
• Litter box accidents from difficulty climbing in
👩⚕️ Arthritis can develop gradually, but early intervention can make a BIG difference in your pet’s comfort and mobility.
