years. Other medical terms for this disease are
osteoarthritis and degenerative joint disease.

Keep a close watch on your dogs weight and
ensure that it receives consistent exercise to
make its joints strong. While exercising is good
do not let your dog indulge in rigorous exercise,
this will not only make your dog tired it will
also do more harm than good. Another factor that
can contribute to arthritis is the hardness of a
floor as it can damage the joints while playing,
running or jumping dog booties are padded and
hence provide support and protection to your
pets feet while walking.

food and shoes for dogs can go a long way to
preventing your pet from getting arthritis as it
grows older.
