Old Bones for Dog Arthritis

Description

What is Dog Arthritis?

Dog arthritis is an often painful inflammation of the joints. It can affect your dog at any age, but more often is seen in older dogs.

There are two major types of dog arthritis:

Canine osteoarthritis is very common in older, larger dogs. The cartilage – which usually cushions the joints between bones – breaks down. Your dog's joints then start to rub against each other, which is painful and uncomfortable. Canine rheumatoid arthritis occurs when your dog's body starts to reject its own connective tissue and the joints become swollen and painful.

The precise causes of dog arthritis are now known. But making sure your dog gets regular exercise and does not become overweight can go a long way to preventing the onset of canine arthritis. With regular exercise, your dog's joints will remain better lubricated. And keeping his weight down will reduce wear on his joints. This is particularly important with larger dog breeds, as their extra weight adds to joint stress.
