Many senior dogs slow down, sleep more, or avoid activities they once loved—but is it really just aging, or is there something more going on? In this episode, we dive into the subtle, often-overlooked signs of pain in older dogs. Unlike acute pain, which may cause whining or limping, chronic pain develops gradually and can be easy to miss.
Learn how to spot the warning signs, from changes in movement and behavior to small shifts in posture and personality. I’ll also share practical tips on what to do if you suspect your dog is in pain, how to document your observations, and why your vet might not always see what you do at home.
Understanding pain in aging dogs can make all the difference in their quality of life. Tune in to learn how to keep your senior dog comfortable and happy for as long as possible.
