Slipping on hardwood floors is common in older dogs and can indicate underlying orthopedic issues like arthritis or hind-end weakness. To help, consider placing non-slip rugs or runners, especially in high-traffic areas. Keep nails trimmed short and consider paw pads or dog boots with good traction if he tolerates them. Joint supplements containing glucosamine and chondroitin can also be beneficial. A veterinary check-up is recommended to assess for pain and discuss management options.
