Dog Arthritis Care: Mobility and Comfort Tips

Arthritis is common in older dogs. The goal is to keep them moving comfortably.

At-home support

• Use non-slip rugs and ramps.
• Provide supportive bedding.
• Keep nails trimmed to reduce slips.

Movement matters

• Short, frequent walks are best.
• Warm up before exercise and cool down after.
• Avoid sharp turns or intense jumping.

Vet support

• Ask about joint supplements and pain relief.
• Monitor weight to reduce joint strain.

Small daily habits can make a big difference in comfort.
