Dial A Vet · Accepted Answer

Slipping on hard floors is common in senior dogs and often indicates joint pain, arthritis, or neurological weakness. You can help by providing non-slip mats or rugs in high-traffic areas, especially where she eats or sleeps. Consider dog booties or paw pads with traction. Elevated food and water bowls can reduce neck strain. Discuss pain management options, joint supplements, or physical therapy with your veterinarian. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
