Arthritis is one of the most common conditions affecting senior dogs, often developing gradually and quietly impacting comfort, mobility, and quality of life.
Seniors and Arthritis Management is an evidence-informed, owner-friendly guide designed to help pet owners better understand arthritis in ageing dogs and feel more confident supporting long-term comfort, movement, and wellbeing.
This guide explores how arthritis affects the senior dog’s body, how to recognise early and progressive changes, and the key considerations involved in managing the condition over time. Rather than focusing on a single solution, it introduces a balanced, whole-dog approach that considers comfort, mobility support, lifestyle adjustments, and ongoing management as needs change.
Written in clear, practical language, this resource is suitable whether you are caring for an ageing dog with established arthritis, noticing early signs of stiffness or slowing, or planning proactively for your dog’s senior years.
This guide forms part of the Water Walkies Education Guides — a collection of evidence-informed resources created to support informed, confident care decisions for dogs at all life stages.
For dogs requiring additional support, this guide may be used alongside a professional assessment through our Integrated Wellness Pathway, or paired with Managing Joint Pain in Pets for a broader understanding of joint comfort and mobility support.
