My Dog is Limping in the Winter – Does he have dog arthritis?

admin — Wed, 14 Jan 2009 22:39:56 +0000

Many owners may notice their dogs limping in the winter, especially if the dogs have a chance to go both in and out of the house quite a bit.

There is a possibility that this is arthritis, especially if your dog is getting older as the cold weather will seep in its bone and make it harder for it to get around.

There is also a likelihood that the dogs paws are cracking, or getting scratched up. Especially if there is a lot of jagged ice and hard pack snow, it will crack animal paws, making the dog limp(which can be mistaken for arthritis).

To remedy the situation apply lotion and salve, cover so it doesn't get licked or gnawed off and start clothing the pet's paws with dog boots like Polar Paws or Muttluks. Your dog will thank you.

It's important to keep up on pet fashion trends if you want your pet looking in style when you take it out in public. That may sound silly, but do you want to be seen around town with with your yorkie in a clown outfit? Of course not, so that's why we are listing some important trends right now for your cat, dog, monkey, or ferret.

Boots - during winter it's important to keep your pets paws covered not only to protect them from the snow, but to keep them looking good and their nails look pristine. In fashion boots include knee high fur boots, rugged hiking boot treads, and tan and suave covers instead of bright blues and pinks.
Hoods - A new sensation is to put a hood on your pooch or tabby. No shirt or sweater attached. Just a hood. Good colors include Camo for him, and Red for her.
Jeweled collars - Spikes are out jewels are in for him and her. For him add a few glints of diamon at the base of the sternum, two or three will do, no more. For her, as many as possible, and as big as possible.

Fashion foopahs in the critter world right now - Spikes unless you have a bulldog or pitbull, "funny saying" shirts, and corsets. I made that last one up, but it definitely would be against good fashion pet sense if it was available.
