5 Steps to Caring for Senior Dogs

If your dog is 7 years old or more, there are a number of health challenges they can be more susceptible to. The foremost of these conditions can be joint degradation or arthritis. Look for these five signs and then follow the five steps to make sure they keep that youthful bounce. Canine arthritis is a big problem for older dogs; as the joints get older they lose the materials that lubricate and cushion the bone from the tissue

The Signs

• Slow to rise from a resting position
• Reluctant to climb steps
• Tires easily or lag behind on walks
• Appears stiff or even limp after activity

The 5 Step Plan

1. Protect the Joints with Nutrition
   Glucosamine, Chondroitin Sulfate, and MSM are powerful natural tools to help restore joint health. RJX for Dogs™ has all three of these in the levels your pet needs.
