Just ensure you follow the manufacturer's guidelines to avoid discomfort. Gently move the device over the affected area in slow, circular motions. It's usually recommended to limit sessions to a few minutes, just a couple of times a week at first, to observe how your dog responds.<br><br><br><br>Keep a close eye on your dog for any signs of distress like panting, restlessness, or limping, as these might indicate discomfort or worsening of the condition.
