• If you happen to have dogs as pets, you know how
  energetic and lively they can be. They run around
  the house with happiness all day long without
  even breaking a sweat. Such a sight not only
  helps you stay happy but keeps the entire
  atmosphere and surroundings in a joyful mood.
• But unfortunately, as dogs grow older, you tend
  to notice them lying on the floor instead of
  running around.

• This change in them occurs mainly because of
  Joint problems and largely affects larger dog
  breeds. Issues with the joints that cause
  problems like arthritis are something that is
  inevitable and cannot be controlled.
• But yes, it can be delayed if proper care is
  taken. Thus, it is obvious to pour light on the
  signs and causes of joint pain and how it can be
  treated.

• As you know, dogs will succumb to joint pain at
  some point of time in their lives (largely due to
  old age) but there are various other causes that
  bring about this inevitable problem.

• Lack of Exercise Dogs that tend to suffer from
  joint pains at an early age is generally because
  of lack of exercise. In our everyday life,
  exercise is a must and needs to be implemented by
  both us and our canine buddies. Exercise in dogs
  is essential in done development and
  strengthening of the muscles and bones. A walk
  for about 30 minutes every day with your pooch is
  not only good for him but will benefit you as
  well.
• Improper and Excess Diet Another main reason
  behind early joint pain in dogs is improper diet.
  Feeding your pal more food than required will not
  only make him obese but can lead to serious
  health problems like arthritis. Hence, it is
  imperative to not only feed your pal a balanced
  diet but the quantity is essential too.

• Injuries In The Past Sometimes joint pain in
  dogs is due to the fact of injuries sustained in
  the past. Injuries to the ligament or tendons
  tend to be very painful and lead to joint
  problems. The most common and highly serious
  ligament tear or rupture is the ACL, which is
  also a serious issue in humans.
• Cancer Known as a killer disease, Cancer can
  possibly lead to joint pain in dogs. Synovial
  Sarcoma Cancer, an aggressive cancerous cell
  tends to affect the soft tissues that are present
  near the joint areas in dogs. When you notice
  your pal limping, losing weight and eating less,
  be sure its most likely to do with Synovial
  Sarcoma Cancer.
