Animals living at home, especially dogs, are considered important members of our family, and their happiness is a priority. As responsible guardians, it is essential to be aware of possible health problems that may affect your pet. The joints, which are essential for mobility, are no exception.

Joint problems are common in large breed dogs, especially in senior dogs and those with overweight.

Here we offer you crucial information to identify if your dog has joint problems. Observing symptoms is essential for accurate diagnosis and proper care.

Signs that my dog has joint problems:

• Changes in behavior and physical activity: Observe any change in your dog's behavior. Has it stopped doing something? Does it feel uncomfortable moving, jumping, or running? A sign of joint discomfort may be a decrease in activity and play.

• Limping or raised pads: Does it feel tired or uncomfortable getting up after resting? Prolonged limping, especially after long periods of inactivity, can be a revealing symptom of joint problems in dogs. 

• Inflammation and sensitivity: Feel your dog's joints. If you notice swelling, heat, or tenderness to the touch in the joints, there may be inflammation. Pay special attention to hips, knees, and elbows. 
• Diet changes: Your dog's appetite may be affected by pain and discomfort. If you notice significant changes in their eating habits, they may have joint problems.
• Stiffness and difficulty getting up: A common symptom of joint problems in dogs is stiffness when getting up after resting. Observe if your dog has trouble getting up, especially in the morning.
• Clicks or crunching when moving: Watch for any unusual sounds while moving. Clicking, crunching, or abnormal sounds may indicate joint problems, such as arthritis. Osteoarthritis affects many older dogs, requiring specific attention and care.
• Regular check-ups and veterinary consultations: If concerned, regularly check your dog's health and consult your veterinarian. Regular veterinary exams are crucial to detect and treat joint problems early.

Chondroprotectors and natural anti-inflammatories

At Kunkay, we recommend two excellent dietary supplements to reduce and prevent your dog's joint problems.

• Superorangekun also helps reduce inflammation and pain in your dog, keeping them more active and promoting overall health. The products are perfect for dogs of all ages, but especially useful for large breed dogs, older dogs, or very active dogs.

Remember that early detection and proper care can improve the quality of life for your dog and cat. Consult your veterinarian for specific information about your loyal companion's joint health.
