Are you concerned that your dog may have canine osteoporosis? In this article we are going to talk more about this condition as well as talking about preventing arthritis in man's best friend.
If you are an avid dog lover I am sure that you are worried about your pet when you see signs of canine osteoporosis. Your active little puppy grew up so quickly and now has gotten quite up there in age but since people do not age as quickly the time may have escaped you quite quickly. This is a really hard thing to acknowledge but the quicker you notice this is happening the better because you will be able to prevent it. Let's go on to talk more about canine osteoporosis and how to go about preventing arthritis in man's best friend.
When your pet starts to slow down its really important that you take notice. Do not just think that maybe your pet is tired when you see behavior that is unusual. Pets usually do not care if they are tired or not because they desire to please their master. If you find that you call your dog and he/she comes very slowly you may want to consider the chance that they have or are starting to develop canine osteoporosis.
If you do suspect that you pet is suffering from this condition there are a couple of things that you can do to make life easier and even keep things from getting worse. One of those things is making sure that your pet does get some exercise. You do not want to overdo it because that will make the condition worse but when you allow them to get some exercise you will be able to keep the joints moving better. I am sure that you have sat in a chair for a long time and then had a hard time moving when you get up. It's no different with your dog.
When your best friend has canine osteoporosis you may also want to consider over the counter medications but make sure you talk to your vet first because they know what is best for your pet. Most likely they will recommend giving your dog a supplement that is going to help them keep from getting worse. This could keep your pet much more active than he or she was going to be and allow you to enjoy more time with them.
