Arthritis prevention isn’t about doing everything right.
It’s about doing small things consistently, and adjusting as you learn more.
That might look like:
• Mixing up walks instead of repeating the same high-impact games
• Limiting repetitive ball throwing (even just a bit)
• Building strength with slow, controlled movement
• Keeping weight steady, not perfect
• Letting rest days be part of the plan
• Using ramps, mats, or rugs where slipping happens
• Noticing subtle changes early and acting sooner
None of these need to be dramatic. But over time, they add up.
And if you want guidance on supporting joints early - without pressure or guilt - our Young Dog Joint Care course breaks this down into simple, realistic steps you can actually stick to.
