Dogs With Arthritis: What is Arthritis?

photo from probioticsmart.com

Arthritis comes in two major forms: 

1. Degenerative joint disease, also called Osteoarthritis
2. Inflammatory arthritis

Inflammatory arthritis 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.

Osteoarthritis 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.

Causes of Osteoarthritis:

• Ageing - the deterioration in your dog is often just a natural part of the aging process.
• Genetics - larger breeds of dogs often have worse arthritis or inherited defects, such as being prone to hip dysplasia, etc.
• 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.

Get Up and Go!: Shot of the Week

We'll go with a video this week. This is a fantastic program.
The Animal Welfare League does a "doggie makeover" for pups that need a good home. The results have been amazing.
The makeover grooming is now done by Bella's Pampered Paws located on the Gold Coast. She does a fantastic job and is so good to the dogs!
The photography is done by K9 Photography - check out her amazing website! Fantastic shots!

There was a petting zoo!  It created lots of excitement and the turkey gobbles and piglet screams could be heard above the din of Expo "goers"!!!

One of our present customers, Karen Reilly, came back to buy MORE Get Up and Go for her 11 year old dog.
She says it works great!


Here is her video testimonial!

Dog Days of Summer

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:

• 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 link.
• Be sure to take a plastic bag!
• Bring a water bottle for your dog and a travel dish.
• 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.
• Dogs can sunburn too! Watch the heat, check their paws for blisters and find shade often.
• Remember that running on sand is more strenuous on their joints, so don't let them overdo it!

Australia's Best Dog-Friendly Beaches

Have an awesome time at the beach over the holidays,
