Caring for dogs with arthritis
Posted by: Francine : Category: Uncategorized
It is not uncommon for dogs of an older age group to suffer from arthritis. As dogs (and other mammals) become older the joints can get a lot weaker and the onset of arthritis can occur, however looking after a dog with arthritis can be as simple as getting the dogs sleep pattern, diet and exercise correct.
- Give your dog more sleep - even think about providing a softer bed for them to sleep in.
- Feed the dog better - stay away from high calorie food and maybe look at some supplements.
- Excercise your pet - Keep the dog as active as they will alllow, as heathly joints are less painful and keeping the joints moving is key.
