Signs Of Joint Pain In Dogs
Dogs hide pain well. These are the signs owners most often miss.
Stiffness after rest
Slow, careful movement after sleeping or lying down, which eases after a few minutes of walking.
Avoiding stairs and jumps
Hesitating before the car, couch or stairs is one of the most common early signs.
Slowing down on walks
Lagging behind, shorter walks or losing interest in play.
Changes in behavior
Licking a joint, irritability when touched, or sleeping more can signal pain.
What to do
