Age-related mobility problems in dogs

Dogs tend to be prone to age-related hip&joint issues. These health problems affect your pup’s quality of life and limit your shared activities. Some of the symptoms your fur baby can start exhibiting are:

🔸 Decreased activity.

🔸 Decreased range of motion.

🔸 Difficulty or reluctance in rising, jumping, running, or climbing stairs.

🔸 Swaying, “bunny hopping” gait.

🔸 Grating in the joint during movement.

🔸 Loss of thigh muscle mass.

Thankfully there are options to improve mobility.
When it comes to “home methods”, your vet may recommend the following to support your dog’s joint comfort & mobility:

1- A good Supplement

A good dietary supplement, especially one rich in Glucosamine and chondroitin. We recommend Mighty Petz 10-in-1 MAX Hemp Hip & Joint, specially formulated to keep dogs active and happy well into their golden years.

Advanced Chewable Formula contains 2.5 x More Glucosamine, 2 x More MSM & 1.75 x More Hemp Seed per chew than other leading brands + 7 other mighty active ingredients.

2- Physical Therapy 

Pups with hip problems may benefit from physical therapy.

3- Weight Reduction

Extra weight can put stress on the joint and cause discomfort so it is recommended that you try to reduce your dog’s weight to help relieve that pressure.
