Joint function in dogs

Joint function is essential from birth. To grow, puppies need healthy joints to support their developing muscles.

Once they are born, they get what they need from their mother’s milk, so they should not be separated from the litter too soon.

Feeding after separation is so considerable for the same reason. Older breeds should be given a proper diet to maintain joints. If they are not given proper nutrition, they may develop problems later on.

The dog’s joints are located in the shoulders, hips, elbows, wrists, knees, and ankles. They may seem simple, but joints are actually complex structures.

The place where two bones meet is carefully protected by a strong joint capsule that is covered by soft tissues, tendons, ligaments and muscles. The joints are responsible for your dog’s movement and stability.

Therefore, if your dog has joint problems, this will affect his entire quality of life.
