Arthritis and Your Dog




Is your dog getting up in his years of age? If so, he may become the victim of dog arthritis. Just as in humans arthritis is painful to your dog. He may walk slower, he may get up from a sitting or lying down position slower as well. It may start to become more and more difficult for your dog to walk up the stairs. If you let your dog up on your bed or other furniture it may be too hard for your dog to come up by you anymore due to the stiffness and pain.

You can order your beloved dog some dog arthritis pain medication. Speak to your vet about what you should do to help your dog. You can also buy your dog an orthopedic dog bed. You will let your dog sleep in comfort. You will have peace of mind knowing you are helping your sweet dog as he ages.

If you do buy your dog an orthopedic bed, make sure you buy the appropriate size dog bed for your dog to get the maximum benefit of the dog bed. If you are not sure what size to buy your dog--simply make sure that the orthopedic dog bed is larger than your dog. He will feel much more comfortable if he has room to stretch.

You may choose a heated orthopedic dog bed. This will help with the joint stiffness and joint pain.

It is wise to choose an orthopedic dog bed that has a cover that comes off for easy washing. You do not want to choose a dog bed that has to have the entire bed washed. For one thing it may not even fit into your washing machine and dryer. Plus, it may fall apart if the entire bed needs to be put in the washing machine.

Choose a high quality orthopedic dog bed so that it will last your dog for many years to come.
