My older dog seems to be having trouble getting around - what can I do?

It is important to take your older dog to the vet to check for any medical issues that may be causing the difficulty in getting around.

If there are no medical issues, then there are a few steps you can take to make your dog more comfortable.

You can provide your dog with a joint supplement to help reduce inflammation and pain. You can also install ramps or steps to help your dog get up and down furniture or stairs more easily.

Make sure to provide your dog with a safe, comfortable bed and make sure all pathways are clear of any obstacles that could cause your dog to trip.

Lastly, make sure to provide your dog with plenty of exercise and activity to help keep their muscles and joints limber.

There are a few other things to consider when caring for an older dog.

Make sure to provide your dog with plenty of mental stimulation, as older dogs can get bored easily.

Additionally, you should consider providing your dog with some additional nutrition such as a balanced diet and additional supplements to ensure that your dog is getting the nutrients they need.

Finally, make sure to keep up with your dog's annual checkups and vaccinations to ensure that any underlying issues are caught early and treated appropriately.
