Soft bedding can help support the bones and joints making the dog more comfortable. Some beds are better for arthritic dogs especially a plush dog bed such as a hammock beds.
As your dog ages, she may not be tolerant or patience as she once was. Supervise playtime and try keeping her away from young children who love to hug and play with your dog.
Tile and hardwood floors may be slippery and may be difficult for your dog to walk on. Consider throw rugs for the comfort of your dog.
Grooming is important for an arthritic dog. Brushing will help remove mats and tangles which can cause itching and pain in an older dog.
