Don’t let stiffness slow your dog down

Watch for hints that your dog isn't feeling their best

Arthritis can sneak up on your dog if you're not looking for it. Knowing the early warning signs can help you advocate for your dog's mobility. Be sure to tell your veterinarian if you think arthritis is starting to set in so they can recommend a treatment plan to protect your dog's joints.

restless or irritable

Slower to get up or sit down

Shifts weight from side to side or front to back while standing

Use this quiz to help you think about your dog's arthritis risk. Then take the answers to your next vet visit. It could be the key to helping your veterinarian know what's going on with your dog's joint health.

An arthritis treatment that helps keep dogs moving
