When was the last time that you took a good look at how your dog really walks? Did you see symmetry, no favouring one side over the other, was it balanced?
Or, did you just wait and watch for your dog to poop?
If while you are waiting for the big moment, you can train yourself to see discrepencies in gait, leaning or swaying to one side, putting weight on one side more than the other, hesitations-you can be of a great help to your dog in preventing chronic problems from developing in the future.
Dogs do not complain of pain and inflamation until it is quite severe. That is the time that many people might consider puting their pets on medication for pain control.
It is your early observation in changes to your pet that will provide reasons for you to take action before arthritis sets in. Signs are hesitating before jumping in the car, climbing stairs, becoming less playful and so on.
Animal chiropractors are trained to realign your pet, quickly and painlessly. We will even teach you how to do the supportive muscle work at home for your dog. You can be your pet's personal trainer!
So next time you take your pet for it's usual stroll, don't just look for poop. There's a whole other world out there.
Dr. Judy Rosenberg Ben-Israel is a practising Animal Chiropractor located in Toronto with a special interest in keeping dogs mobile and happy.
