Good dog joint care starts when your dog is a puppy. It is though never too late to start caring for your dog’s joints.
The best way to deal with any health issues is to try to prevent them before they occur. There are a number of ways you can try to prevent, or delay, joint pain and stiffness.
Exercise nurtures the joints and keeps them healthy and agile.
It is though important to avoid extreme exercise as it may cause joint damage. That does not mean you cannot enjoy long walks, energetic games or train with your dog. But just like us, your dog needs to warm up and build up his stamina.
It is important to keep your dog moving even if your dog is experiencing some joint discomfort. Just adjust your exercise routine to fit his needs. Gentle exercise will help to lubricate the joints and make him feel better.

Joint health in dogs can be improved further by making some simple changes in the dog’s environment. Like providing dog ramp for easy access in and out the car, and steps so he doesn’t have to jump.
Heated beds are also great to prevent stiff joints after naps and gentle massage is not only good for the joints, it’s also great for bonding.
These simple changes are easy and inexpensive to implement but can significantly improve your dog’s joint health.
Take your dog to the veterinarian for regular health checkups. Early detection of canine joint problems allows you to use less invasive treatment options, like joint supplement for dogs.
