Dog Pain - Relief From Arthritis and Joint Pain


It's safe to say that most people are animal lovers. It's nearly a necessity to have a furry friend by your side in times of sadness or loneliness, especially man's best friend. They look up to us, love us, cherish us, and wait by the door, all day, just for us to come walking in... But what is one to do when your dog is suffering from pain?

Good dog pain relief that won't harm your dog is a tough thing to come by, especially for things like joint pain and/or arthritis. Most vets prescribe pooch-pills that can have harmful side effects and even cost an arm or a leg!

The truth is nobody wants to see their furry friend in pain. It's one of the most agonizing feelings in the world! Even if your dog isn't quite showing it, they could be in serious joint pain.

Here are a couple hints to tell if your furry friend is dealing with dog joint pain...

Vocalizing:
When your dog sits, lies down, or gets up, you may hear whining, whimpering, or yelping.

Daily Habits:
Decreased appetite, withdraws from social interaction, lapses in house training, sleeps more than usual.

Activity Levels:
Restless, reluctant to move, difficulty getting up from a sitting/laying position, repetitively gets up and lies down, trembling.

Other signs:
Licking, scratching, or biting one particular part of it's body, always laying on one side of its body, acting abnormally aggressive, pinning the ears backward, not wanting to be held, hides, or won't put weight on a limb.
