Older dogs and pets with arthritis will appreciate the comfort of an orthopedic bed.
Things to consider: Using blankets, ways to relieve the pain of arthritis, and heat therapy.
Give Her a Cover - Orthopedic beds are great for senior dogs and dogs with arthritis. They may not be warm enough by themselves to keep an older or arthritic dog's joints warm and comfortable as they sleep. Get a few light blankets (a couple of "throws" would work just fine) and drape it over them as they lie down at night.
Pain Reliever - If your senior or arthritic dog benefits from using orthopedic beds, she may also appreciate vitamins and supplements that support joint health, for example Glucosamine.
Heat Treatment - For your senior or arthritic dog's even greater comfort, combine the joint-relieving comfort of orthopedic beds with the muscle-soothing warmth of a heated mat or pad and look at heated orthopedic beds.
