arthritis

Post by robilee »

What's the best way to prevent canine arthritis? I have a 6 year old female shepard mix & she also has some rotweiler in her too. Both breed are very suseptible to arthritis, so I'm worried about her getting arthritis in the future. I take her for daily walks and to the dog park occasionally (usually weekends) so she can run around with our other 1 year old pup. She also swims a lot in the summer. So what can I do?

There are products out there to enhance joint health. I would talk to doc about supplementing the diet as the arthritic age approaches and hats off to you! Swimming is so excellent for nonstress strengthening and toning!
