Age-related stiffness and discomfort, especially after rest, are common signs of osteoarthritis in senior dogs. While it's a progressive condition, there are many ways to manage pain and improve quality of life. This can include targeted pain management medications prescribed by your vet, joint supplements containing glucosamine and chondroitin, controlled exercise to maintain muscle mass without overstraining joints, and maintaining a healthy weight. Providing soft bedding and warm environments can also offer relief. Your veterinarian can assess the severity and recommend a tailored plan.
