<br />
We decided to fo just that and have just received our order from <a href="http://www.reddingo.com/" target="_blank">Red Dingo Pet Adventure</a>!<br />

<br />
How old is your dog really? We speak to many clients who tell us that their dog is just "too young" to have developed arthritis. Usually their dog is around 6 or 7 years old. Canine arthritis can start earlier depending on breed and injury history, but it's interesting to see just how old your pup is!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<li>Small dog = 20 pounds or less</li>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<li>Medium dog = 21-50 pounds</li>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<li>Large dog = More than 50 pounds</li>
<br />
<br />
<br />

Arthritis comes in two major forms: <br />
<ol>
<li>Degenerative joint disease, also called Osteoarthritis</li>
<li>Inflammatory arthritis</li>
</ol>
<strong>Inflammatory arthritis</strong> is the reason you need to get your dog's arthritis checked by your vet. It is a serious condition that must be treated by antibiotics prescribed by your vet.<br />
<br />
<strong>Osteoarthritis</strong> is the most common type and occurs because of deterioration of the cartilage and bone in the joints. The joints are also lubricated with synovial fluid, which thins as your dog ages. With the loss of this fluid, any movement then becomes bone on bone, creating the pain that reduces your dog's mobility.<br />

<br />
<br />
<u>Causes of Osteoarthritis:</u><br />
<ul>
<li>Ageing - the deterioration in your dog is often just a natural part of the aging process.</li>
<li>Genetics - larger breeds of dogs often have worse arthritis or inherited defects, such as being prone to hip dysplasia, etc.</li>
<li>Accidents - if your dog has suffered a fall, broken bones or another type of injury at any point in their life, they may develop arthritis in the affected joints.</li>

Going to the beach with your dog can be great for exercise and socialization! Here are some things to remember to make the trip more enjoyable:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Make sure you're within a Dog Exercise area on the beach, the Gold Coast City Council has great maps to show you where the Dog Beaches are at this <a href="http://www.goldcoast.qld.gov.au/t_standard2.aspx?pid=23" target="_blank">link</a>.</li>
<li>Be sure to take a plastic bag!</li>
<li>Bring a water bottle for your dog and a travel dish.</li>
<li>If your dog swims, make sure he/she is a strong swimmer and watch for undercurrents. If you own a smaller breed dog, a doggie life jacket is a good option to keep them safe.</li>
<li>Dogs can sunburn too! Watch the heat, check their paws for blisters and find shade often.</li>
<li>Remember that running on sand is more strenuous on their <a href="http://www.getupandgodog.com.au/" target="_blank">joints</a>, so don't let them overdo it!</li>
</ul>

Dogs that are crippled with arthritis end up sitting or lying most of the time, not exercising. The result is weight gain and immobility. This exacerbates their condition, worsening the pain of arthritis.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Exercise and a healthy diet with the <a href="http://www.getupandgodog.com.au/" target="_blank">proper nutrients</a> are keys to managing arthritis. While you can monitor what they eat, it's not easy to make a hurting dog get up and moving. If the arthritis is severe, a great option to consider is hydrotherapy.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hydrotherapy puts your dog in a water tank with a treadmill below them. The hydrotherapy technician can monitor your dog and adjust the tank conditions to give them the optimum amount of exercise to build up their muscles.</div>

It's not exactly a spa, but the results on larger breed dogs have been fantastic. Dogs with hip dysplasia have particularly found hydrotherapy beneficial.<br />

Short Answer: <b><i>Yes.</i></b><br />
<b><i><br />
</i></b><br />
Larger breed dogs are more prone to have problems with arthritis. A specific example of this is Hip Dysplasia. Hip Dysplasia is looseness in the ball and socket joint located in a dog's hips. It can develop during growth spurts and can be passed on to the next litter.<br />
<br />
It is also the most common cause of arthritis in dogs.<br />
<br />
Labradors, Great Danes, and St. Bernards are a few types of larger breed dogs that are susceptible to Hip Dysplasia. Surgery is one option and it leaves your dog with a loss of range of motion.<br />

<br />
<br />
It's important to check with the breeder before selecting your pup and have regular vet checkups. Hip Dysplasia can be debilitating for your dog, but it is also can be complicated by certain factors: over-exercise, over-feeding, and lack of exercise. The same factors that complicate arthritis.<br />

The Olympics in London are going to be amazing, but what if your athritic dog is feeling sporting?<br />
<br />
A great sport, that can be practiced at low speeds, is flyball. Flyball teams are located pretty much anywhere and while most teams are competitive young dogs, there are groups that focus on aging dogs. They do Flyball for fun rather than competition. <br />

It involves a bit of training and treats, but it's a great way to keep your dog active as long as you take it slow.<br />

<strong>Study Examines Dogs That Behave and Disobey</strong><br />
Canine expert Alexandra Horowitz recently conducted an extensive study on what we perceive as dog guilt. The Barnard College assistant professor gathered dog owners and their pets, and she asked the owners to leave the room after ordering their dogs not to eat a yummy treat. While the owners were out, Dr. Horowitz gave certain dogs the treats before the owners returned. During some trials, she told the owners that their dog had eaten the forbidden treats, even if the dog had not and had behaved.<br />
Owners told that their dogs had misbehaved, even if that wasn’t the case, reported that their dogs looked guilty. These dogs were said to look guiltier than dogs that had their fill of treats, especially when owners admonished the innocent canines. The study, published in the journal <em>Behavioral Processes</em>, could be interpreted as suggesting dog guilt is all in our minds, but Dr. Horowitz disagrees.<br />
“Based on the experiment, ‘the look’ that we, humans, think indicates dogs’ guilt was not, in fact, prompted by their disobedience,” says Dr. Horowitz. “Instead, it appeared most when they were scolded or about to be scolded.”<br />
<strong>Guilt Versus Understanding Forbidden Behaviors</strong><br />
Guilt requires more complex thought than simply realizing that some behavior is forbidden, bad or wrong. Dr. Horowitz thinks that feeling guilt requires some understanding of a moral code of behavior, which one is conscious of violating and realizes that others are aware of the violation too. That requires more complicated mental processing than learning that certain behaviors are punishable or may lead to undesired consequences.<br />
“Dogs learn that they can show the ‘guilty look’ when we approach them with a certain posture or tone of voice. They know it may lead to a scolding, because it has in the past,” says Dr. Horowitz.<br />
<strong>Discouraging Unwanted Behaviors</strong><br />
Guilty face or not, since dogs do understand the connection between punishment and particular actions, Dr. Horowitz offers the following advice:<br />
<ul type="disc">
<li>If possible, ignore your dog when it first misbehaves. Getting your attention, even if you are angry, can be an award for your dog. The same holds true for certain children who sometimes act out just to become the center of attention.</li>
</ul>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Try to avoid the situation that leads to the misbehavior.</li>
</ul>
<ul type="disc">
<li>Most important, praise your dog when it performs desired behaviors. Your pet will remember the positive feedback and be more inclined to do “good” in the future.</li>
</ul>
<strong>Theory of Mind</strong><br />
Central to guilt is something called “theory of mind.” It’s the ability to attribute mental states, such as beliefs or intentions, to oneself and others. Dr. Horowitz believes dogs may possess a rudimentary theory of mind. During studies, she says dogs seemed to be attentive to other dogs’ attention -- not simply which way the dogs were looking but also whether they were distracted in play, gazing blankly into the distance or ready to play.<br />
Dr. Horowitz cautions against anthropomorphizing dogs or attributing human looks and characteristics to them. She concludes, “The best tactic is always to first step back and look at what the dog is actually doing, without imagining them as little furry people.”<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Your old dog has arthritis - now what?</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">When it comes to your dog's arthritis, there are two main options your vet will go through: NSAID or Natural.</span> <span style="font-size: x-small;">(It's important to get your vet's diagnosis, as some types of arthritis must be treated with antibiotics.)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-steroidal_anti-inflammatory_drug" target="_blank">NSAID</a> stands for "non-steroidsal anti-inflammatory drug." It is a serious painkiller and anti-inflammatory that comes with strict dosing instructions. It can have debilitating, even fatal, side-effects. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">The main problem with embarking on an NSAID regimen for your arthritic dog is that it is toxic to your dog's kidneys and liver when taken over a long period of time. Dog arthritis is something that doesn't go away - it can't be cured, just treated over the long term. That's why it's important to give your dog something that <strong>can be taken for the long term</strong>.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;">NSAIDs require regular blood tests and are only ever a short-term solution. Once the initial pain is treated with an NSAID, it's a good idea to consider natural alternatives.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia;"><strong>Natural alternatives can be:</strong></span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><strong>Just as effective, reducing inflammation and pain</strong></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><strong>Safe to administer over the duration of your dog's life</strong></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><strong>Promote general health and wellbeing</strong></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Georgia;"><strong>Energizing</strong></span></li>
</ul>

<span style="font-family: Georgia;">The trick is to find the right supplement for your dog. Each dog is individual and may respond to certain supplements differently, so don't get discouraged if things don't immediately change. It's important to try a few, giving the supplement enough time to get into the bloodstream (usually at least a week).</span><br />
