To help your dog move about easily, you can place a rug on the floor if it’s smooth or installs a non-skid type of flooring. Dogs find it difficult to navigate laminate flooring as it can be slippery. So, assist them to move about easily especially when they hurry to obtain tasty treats. 

Place a Ramp

If your dog is small and cannot easily climb onto the couch or bed, install a ramp with carpet to help them easily access your cuddles. Dogs are less agile compared to cats and cannot jump from one place to another. You can also use a ramp to assist your pooch to easily move in and out of your car.  

Feed Nutritious Treats

Some dog snacks are specially formulated with beneficial nutrients to promote healthy joints. These treats are not only delicious but also contain nutrients like chondroitin, glucosamine, vitamin C, and DHA, which assist to support mobility and healthy joints in dogs. 

Exercise Your Canine

It’s important to help your pooch get regular exercise as stiff joints can easily worsen into arthritis. Therefore, take your dog out for regular strolls and runs to prevent their muscles from stiffening. If your dog becomes overweight, the pressure on their joints could increase. So it’s essential to exercise them gently with easy workouts to keep their joints in good shape. 

If your dog finds it too strenuous to walk or run, you can invest in an underwater treadmill or dog pool. You can also access these facilities at some veterinary and animal physical therapy centers. Exercising in water is a low-impact workout that does not stress the joints.

Make their Bed Cozy

Provide your four-legged friend a comfortably padded bed that protects them from damp and cold drafts. For a canine with thinner fur, you can offer a heated bed to keep them warm and cozy in the chilly seasons.
