Exercise for an Older Dog

Exercise is an important element in your dog’s day to day management. It’s vital for their mental stimulation, physical therapy, weight management and owner/patient bond. However, exercise may have to look a little different when your dog has osteoarthritis. We have to remember that our dogs don’t have the forethought that hours of boisterous play, ball chasing, working, or running off lead is likely to cause them pain later.
