When Lucky was starting to show signs of aging, we were concerned about her comfort. She would have a hard time getting up in the morning. Her legs would shake and she would take five minutes just to get up, where once she could pounce up in a second.
Her hips were really thin and her muscle mass was decreasing rapidly.
What we found out was that we could help her by getting an orthopedic dog bed. The sad part is, we probably could have helped her avoid this by getting it for her when she was younger.
See, dogs can develop calluses and arthritis from laying on hard floors or rocks in the ground.
Naturally we did what we could to make her more comfortable during her last days.
That dog was a mighty powerhouse in her time, and it was so hard to see her deteriorate like this.
Now, all five of our dogs have warm dog beds to keep them comfortable, warm, and most importantly, healthier.
