Arthritis in Pets


 You can help slow/prevent arthritis in your pet by 
maintaining an ideal weight and encouraging regular 
low impact exercise such as walking or swimming. 
 
~What about a dog that might already have arthritis?
 
Does your older dog seem "stiff" upon rising, reluctant 
to go on walks, or just less active? He or she may be 
silently suffering from arthritis. Yearly exams and 
arthritis pain medication can help bring back that 
"spring in his/her step". 

**Tylenol, Aspirin, NSAIDs like Aleve and many other 
over the counter medicines are potentially deadly if 
given to pets. Never give drugs to your pet without 
consulting your veterinarian first.
