Joint disease affects dogs just like in humans. Relatively, as dogs age they can start to develop signs and symptoms of joint issues. Usually around age 7 or older. About 90% of dogs will suffer from DJD (degenerative joint disease).
Symptoms to watch out for include but aren’t limited to are :
- lameness
- swelling
- pain of affected joint(s)
- fever
- loss of appetite
- stiffness
Guess what ? DJD can be prevented! Woooohoooo, because that opener was depressing! With a healthy sustainable diet your dog can have a better chance of avoiding DJD. Always keep your pups at a healthy weight and make sure to start early in your pets life as possible!
