Like people as dogs get older they will develop health problems they did not have in their younger years. One of these health problems that occur in humans as well as dogs is Arthritis. Arthritis is the inflammation of joints which cause pain. Many owners do not realize their dogs maybe suffering. Instead they assume that because their dog is older this is why they are not as active as they use to be. A yearly visit to a veterinary office can clear up that assumption immediately.

 

There are several treatments available for dogs that will help relieve their pain and give them more freedom to move. These include anti-inflammatory and glucosamine chondroitin. A simple treatment that you can do yourself is to make the dog's life more comfortable around the home. This includes placing steps at the bed or couch, placing gates across stairs, elevating food and water bowls, and getting a special orthopedic dog bed that cushions the joints.

 

It has also been shown that over weight dogs have more problems with arthritis. By putting your dog on a diet you can help relieve some of the stress on the joints. When dogs are over weight they are also less likely to exercise. So removing those extra pounds can help it move around and get those joints back to working properly.

 

In conclusion it is best to take your dog to the veterinarian. He or she can help you put together a good treatment plan medically while you can do various things at home to help your dog live a long happy and healthy life.
