Her dog used to be able to move very fast and very agile, but it must be hard and slow now?

1. Your dog may be having trouble getting to places that used to be easy for him be. If your dog is accustomed to sleeping on the couch or in bed, now it has been diagnosed with arthritis, I could buy a dog on a special track for him. If your dog is light enough that you can lift, pick up where he wants to be, gently support his chair to prevent back injuries.
2. It can be difficult for your dog if he has arthritis to drink water or eat food from his dish, which can be raised by putting something under it to make it easier for him to eat and drink.
3. Consider the option of giving your dog glucosamine supplements have been found to be useful for arthritis sufferers. Ask your veterinarian about of glucosamine and chondroitin supplements. These supplements help protect tissues from your dog's cartilage damage.
