When your dog is diagnosed with arthritis, it's completely understandable to feel uncertain about exercise. Should they still go for walks? Is it safe for them to run and play? The good news is that appropriate exercise is one of the best things you can do for a dog with arthritis. The key word here is "appropriate"; finding the right balance between keeping those joints mobile and avoiding activities that might cause additional stress or discomfort. With the right approach, your arthritic dog can continue to enjoy an active, fulfilling life. As part of a multi-pronged management plan, strategic movement helps maintain mobility, build strength, and support overall wellbeing.
