The effect of arthritis can be lessened by following the three tips given below: 1 - Weight Management 2- Exercise Regime 3- Keeping dog in warm areas

  6. 2 - Exercise Regime • It is important to have frequent exercise session for pets. • This will help in reducing pain and preventing further damage to the joint. • You can also apply Rapigel, a powerful muscle and joint relieving gel, or give them Sasha’s blend powder, an effective supplement for treating arthritic symptoms in all dog breeds. • Activities that will help in achieving this encompass: walking, swimming, going up and down stairs and leash walking. • You can even customize the exercise regime, according to the severity of the arthritis, body weight and condition of your pet. • If you do not follow the daily exercise regime and only conduct exercise sessions on the weekend, then it may do more harm to the overall health of your dog as the joints of your dog sore throughout the week except the weekend due to weekly exercise. • Another thing that will have a positive impact on the disease is conducting a warm up session before beginning the exercise regimen. • You can take the tips of the exercise regime from your veterinary physician.

This will provide comfort to the dog. • You can buy a firm, orthopaedic foam bed which works wonders for dogs having arthritis.
