Gentle Exercise For Stiff Dogs
Movement helps stiff joints, as long as it is the right kind.
Short and regular
Two or three short walks a day usually beat one long walk.
Low impact
Leash walks and, for some dogs, swimming are easier on joints than hard running or jumping.
Avoid weekend overdoing
Sudden long outings can flare soreness.
Warm up
Start with a slow walk. Watch for limping afterwards.
Ask your vet
Get an exercise plan that fits your dog. See when to see a vet for limping.
