Dogs with joint pain and arthritis look like they are stiff or limping. It is difficult for them to walk normally or rise from a sitting position. This causes the dog to be less playful and act depressed. Relieving the dog of this pain and inflammation is important to maintain its health. Daily walks and home remedies can help get the dog back to normal.
Things You'll Need
- Apple cider vinegar
- Hot water bottle
Instructions
Mix apple cider vinegar into your dog's food and mix thoroughly. One tablespoon is the dosage for a 50-pound dog.
Walk the dog daily to maintain adequate exercise of the joints.
