Dog Arthritis: Analyzing Causes
The skeletal system, apart from providing the support for effective movement, functions in providing effective protection and coverage for the various organs in the body. Although the power house of all the actions performed by the dog’s body is the muscular system, the bones and joints are what the muscles move in the first place. The general health and well being of the skeletal system of a dog is very crucial. Just like in humans, there are a lot of diseases that can infiltrate the skeletal system and hamper its proper functioning. One of the most dreadful as well as the most widely observed diseases that affects the skeletal system of a dog is dog arthritis.
Dog arthritis hampers the overall functioning of the skeletal system by wearing of the bones and joints, leading to a persistent pain for your pet. Many symptoms and features are commonly observed in dogs that suggest the existence of the disease. These features include problems and inhibitions in getting up and rising to a standing position, being stiff legged after even hours of exercise as well as not wanting to come when they are called.
If your dog exhibits great reluctance in walking much or especially in traveling up and down a flight of stairs, it can easily be decided that the dog is suffering from arthritis. Unlike human beings, dogs do not have the ability to communicate effectively. As a result the dog faces trouble in expressing the pain and getting it through to the owners. As being an able owner of the dog it is important to always stay pro-active when it comes to sensing the disease. Being pro-active simply means being on the look out for potential symptoms of the arthritis. This would be a great favor for the dog as diagnosing arthritis early is very helpful in relieving your pet dog of the unbearable pain.
Arthritis is basically a disease of the bones and joints that is a result of inflammation. It is most commonly observed in older dogs. There are also much greater chances of your dog developing the disease if it is overweight or does not get a great deal of exercise. A dog has this disease in conditions where the physical activity of the dog is highly limited. There have been times; however, when even younger dogs have been seen suffering from this disease. The major cause for the disease in younger dogs is some kind of damage to bones that may arise due to injuries. In order to counter the disease and prevent your own dog from developing it you can ensure that the diet of the dog is proper and he gets his share of walks as well as other forms of physical activity. This is the best way to ensure that the bones and joints will not develop any stiffness and that your dog can remain active at all times.

Are all dog shampoos the same?
I have a golden retriever that scratches a lot(working on it), and has a pretty dull coat. I use pro pet shed control shampoo. i want to know if it doesn't matter what type of shampoo i use, or if it does. If i does matter what is the best dog shampoo regardless of price.
what is the best shampoo to use and what is the brand name??
I personally like an oatmeal based shampoo for my itchy dog. These seem to work the best for her. You might also see about adding vitamins, minerals, and/or oil to her diet. Talk to your vet about supplementing her diet.
