What you can do if your dog has joint problems
If your dog is suffering from problems with one or more joints, there are several things you can do to help:
Expert advice
First, you should take your dog to an expert therapist such as a veterinarian or other qualified animal health practitioner to determine the cause of the joint problems. They will be able to perform a thorough examination to determine if the cause is an injury, illness or some other cause.
Weight loss
If your dog is overweight, the extra weight can put strain on the joints and exacerbate symptoms. Weight loss can therefore help reduce the strain on the joints.
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy can help improve joint function and increase mobility. Exercises to strengthen the muscles around the affected joint can help stabilize the joint and reduce the load it is under.
Nutritional optimization
A balanced and healthy diet can help promote joint health. It may also be helpful to feed supplements. In particular, feed supplements containing high-quality ingredients such as green-lipped mussels or natural vitamin C to support the joints have proven themselves here.
