If your dog hesitates on stairs, limps after walks, or struggles to get up, it’s not laziness. It’s silent joint pain that most owners mistake for getting older.

Over 80% of dogs past age five already show early signs of stiffness or discomfort. Years of running and jumping wear down the cartilage that cushions their joints, making every step harder and more painful.

Left untreated, this stiffness steals your dog’s energy and playfulness. The one that used to sprint to the door now lies down instead. The tail still wags, but slower.

That’s why early joint support matters. It helps dogs move freely, stay active, and feel like themselves again.
