Joint stiffness, particularly accentuated by cold weather, is very common in senior dogs and often indicates osteoarthritis. There are many ways to help manage his comfort and mobility. This can include daily joint supplements containing glucosamine and chondroitin, omega-3 fatty acids, weight management to reduce joint stress, comfortable bedding, and low-impact exercise. Your veterinarian can also prescribe anti-inflammatory medications or recommend other therapies like acupuncture or laser therapy. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
