Travelling With an Old Dog - Arthritis Care for Dogs Travel

Tips for Travelling With an Older Dog

As our dogs age they need extra care, older dogs suffer with joint pain, many dogs suffer with arthritis and older dogs need extra comfort when travelling. Consider a soft bed for arthritic dogs, and add hot and cold pads for dogs to help with swollen and sore joints too.

Our dog Brodie had terrible arthritis and we wanted to help him with his pain, he was mentally alert and a happy dog who loved to greet us and follow us around as a faithful dog does. But we could notice the change as our beautiful Samoyed Husky dog aged. Dogs hide their illness well, it is their natural course of survival; weak dogs and any animals in nature become prey if they show weakness and even though our pet dogs are domesticated, dogs will do the same.

So be aware if you dogs begins to withdraw and take your dog to the veterinary for check ups more often as they age and cconsider an extra comfortable ortho dog bed and take the weight off your pets joints.

Brodie was given arthritis medication but we wanted to do whatever we could to make him as comfortable as possible, bought a heated dog bed large  Dolce Vita Traveler Heated Back Bench Seat Cover for Pets, pads, a natural remedy joint support mix for arthritis and lots of hugs and treats as any dog deserves the best.
