Winter Tips for Your Dog's Joint Comfort

The winter months bring cold weather which can cause painful and stiff joints in your dog. Help your furry friend weather the cold a little easier by using the following:

Orthopedic Beds Provide Comfort and Support
Orthopedic beds provide support and help ease the strain on your dog's joints when resting. The ergonomically designed bolster in each bed also provides relief for your dog's neck.

Joint Supplements Promote Joint Health
Adding a joint supplement to your dog's daily diet may help maintain his or her joint health.

Arthritis Pain Medications Relieve Joint Pain
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory pain medications (NSAIDs) provide quick pain and inflammation relief associated with your dog's arthritis. NSAIDs are pain medications and require a prescription from your veterinarian.

Tip

To reduce your dog's arthritis pain, help your dog maintain a healthy weight to avoid extra pressure on the joints.
