Is your senior dog slowing down? You may be surprised when I tell you that old age may not be the culprit.

Changes in activity like hesitating on the stairs, struggling to jump, or preferring shorter walks, can be early signs of arthritis, inflammation, or pain. Many pet parents think it’s normal aging, but small interventions can make a huge difference in comfort, mobility, and quality of life.

There are holistic strategies that can help your senior dog move around more comfortably:

🌿 Acupuncture: reduces pain and inflammation naturally. Many dogs regain flexibility and move with less stiffness after regular sessions.

💧 Hydrotherapy (underwater treadmill or swimming): builds muscle strength without stressing joints. Perfect for dogs with arthritis or joint issues.

✨ Massage & laser therapy: improves circulation, relieves tension, and enhances overall mobility.

These therapies also reduce stress and promote faster recovery.

Movement isn’t just exercise, it’s medicine for senior dogs.

Did you know your dog’s p**p is one of the easiest ways to check their health?

The perfect p**p isn’t about luck, it’s about balance in digestion, nutrition, and overall wellness.

Here’s what to look for:
✔️ Chocolate brown color
✔️ Log-shaped & firm (but not hard)
✔️ Should not have a severe smell
✔️ No mucus or slime coatings
✔️ Easy to pick up
✔️ 1–3 times per day

If your dog’s p**p doesn’t look like this often, it may be time to adjust their diet or check in with your vet.

👉 Save this checklist and use it as a quick daily health reference!

When a dog licks their paw, your spidey senses should tingle.

But in all seriousness, they're trying to tell you something. They're likely in pain; something could be stuck or they're experiencing sensitivity from a deeper-rooted pain point.

Always be present and pay attention to your pet's behaviors. That's their way of speaking to you!

Meet my dog, Jack. He's rocking his stylish doggles and getting a little extra TLC.

He’s enjoying a session with our Class IV cold laser, which helps bring blood flow and stem cells to the area for faster healing and comfort. And the doggles aren’t just a fashion statement; they protect his eyes from scattered red light during treatment.

Jack’s a pro at self-care.

Honestly, I can’t imagine doing anything else. Being a vet at PAWS Veterinary Center is such a rewarding experience, and I feel incredibly lucky every day. It's not always glamorous, and requires a lot of work, but every day brings something new and different. Whether it’s a wagging tail, a soft purr, or even just the comfort of knowing a pet is in good hands, I’m reminded daily of why I chose this career.

One of the most exciting parts of my job recently has been the opportunity to connect with even more clients across the country through telehealth. It’s been amazing to see how technology allows us to offer guidance and care to pets and families, no matter where they are. I’m beyond thankful for the chance to help even more pets live healthy, happy lives.

Above all, I’m grateful for the incredible team I get to work with every day and the amazing clients who trust us with their pets. It’s truly a privilege to be part of such a great community here in Tucson!

It's very common for cats not to show signs of pain when they have arthritis or some other painful issue. They can hide it better because they're smaller than most dogs.

New veterinarians need to be very observant of this because if the cat isn't showing major pain signals, it can be easy to miss.

Yes, cats are as independent as you think they are! Unlike dogs, you can leave them home alone for a day or two with proper food and water because they're more self-sufficient than dogs are.

How independent is your cat?
