Like humans, dogs can also get painful pet arthritis throughout their bodies. But unlike people, who can simply talk about what hurts, how can you spot when your furry little friend has arthritis? Flexcin, the maker of FlexPet dog arthritis treatment, offers these four tell-tail signs so you can bring relief to your pet.

1) No Longer Running & Jumping: Dogs are active animals, even as they age. Running and jumping around are two simple activities enjoyed by happy and healthy dogs. If your dog stops running and jumping, this is the first major sign your pet may have dog joint pain.

2) Difficult Walking Up Stairs: Many homes are built to have multiple levels. If your dog refrains from going upstairs it most likely means they have severe dog joint pain and can't climb the stairs.

3) Overweight: Although done without harmful intentions, a good majority of people overfeed their dogs that can often lead to obesity problems. When a dog is overweight they put too much pressure on their frame and this can lead to uncomfortable pet arthritis.

4) Less Interested In Being A Pet: When dogs have pet arthritis it can be painful to simply touch or pet your furry little friend. Even gentle petting upsets sore areas that easily exacerbate aches and pains in the joints.

It's important for every dog owner to monitor for these obvious warning signs and provide a dog arthritis treatment. Once the pet arthritis subsides it's important to return your dog to a healthy and active lifestyle with a proper diet with the right nutrition.
