Helping your senior dog maintain mobility and comfort is crucial as they age, especially for breeds like Labradoodles prone to osteoarthritis. This guide for pet parents explores five effective ways to improve senior dog mobility through integrative veterinary medicine, including switching from processed kibbles to anti-inflammatory diets, using high-quality Omega-3 capsules, and specific joint supplements like Jope. By focusing on root-cause inflammation and proper diagnostic physical exams, you can help your aging dog walk better and enjoy a higher quality of life.In this episode, Dr. Randy Aronson and veterinary student Olivia Sacci discuss a listener's question about a 12-year-old dog struggling with arthritis despite using standard glucosamine. Dr. Randy shares his 40 years of experience, highlighting why Omega-3 capsules are superior to bottled oils to prevent oxidation and how injectable treatments like Adequan can help cartilage "imbibe" water for better cushioning.
