Arthritis is a very common affliction in canines. Recent estimates have stated that around 16 million dogs in the U.S currently suffer from the harsh affliction. This article will point you towards some of the best arthritis pain relief methods that are at your disposal to make sure your canine is in comfort.
The first thing that I would recommend you do is buy a nice soft bed or fluffy blanket if your dog is suffering from arthritis. This is because one of the effects of arthritis is it causes your dogs joints to swell up which is very painful. So if your canine is sleeping on a hard surface it is essential to buy them something comfortable to rest on as this will help to relieve the pain, and stop further aggravation of the swelling.
Also very much like humans who suffer from arthritis the joints of your canine will become very tender and painful if they are cold. So you should try and keep your dog warm, when they are resting. You can do this by investing in a hot water bottle, or moving your dog inside if it is sleeping outside in the cold.
Last but by no means least the most effective way to achieve canine arthritis pain relief is to buy some pain killers that are designed specifically for dogs. There are a multitude of dog aspirins, and pain killers that are designed for dogs. There are also many supplements on the market that are designed specifically to treat canine arthritis.
You will generally get better deals if you shop on the internet with many companies offering free trials of supplements.
If you implement a combination of these methods then your furry friend will be well on your way to having relief from the pain of arthritis.
