Dogs With Joint Pain - 3 Ways to Stop Your Dog's Joint Pain!


Dogs with joint pain need our help immediately! It is so sad to see dogs suffer from swollen, stiff joints. Here are a few signs that your dog is experiencing joint pain...

Your Dog:


  • Is showing a reduction in muscularity or tone.

  • Is lagging behind during walks.

  • Walks with a limp.

  • Whimpers while walking.

  • Licks the joint.

  • Is reluctant to climb stairs or "jump up."

It's very important that we don't turn a blind eye to our dog's joint troubles. There are things we can do that don't require expensive vet visits or drastic measures of any kind. Simple things. Kind things. I will share three of them with you now.

Dogs With Joint Pain - 3 Ways To Stop Your Dog's Joint Pain:


  1. Massage and acupressure. Take some time to give your friend some love. Lay your dog down and massage the muscles surrounding the sore joint, being careful to avoid the joint itself. Nice, deep strokes. Get intuitive. How would you like to be massaged if you were in pain? Do this for a good minute or two, longer if desired. Then, while your dog is still laying down, firmly squeeze his or her akeela's heel for 30 to 60 seconds. Just watch your dog bliss out!

  2. Diet and exercise. It is a known fact that heavier dogs are more likely to develop joint pain and arthritis than are fit dogs. Feed your dog responsibly, manage your dog's weight, and keep your dog moving. If he or she just lies around all day, that will make the joints worse. They need to be flexed and lubricated. Light exercise can provide this.

  3. Avoid medication, as it can seriously worsen the problem. Instead, favor homeopathic treatment. It is more effective than medicine, without the toxic side effects. Find a supplement that not only eases your dog's joint pain, but also lubricates the joint, reduces swelling & fluid retention, and promotes flexibility.

If you do all three of these things together, your dog is going to be up and at 'em in no time! Your dog's joint pain (and arthritis) will be effectively managed, and you and your buddy can live a happy life together!
