Did you know…

…up to 80% of behavioral issues in dogs may be caused or exacerbated by pain…
…40% of dogs age 8 months to 4 years already show signs of arthritis in radiographs, with 24% already struggling with pain…
…80% of dogs 8 years and older suffer from arthritis pain

Your dog won’t always “tell” you something is wrong in the way you might think they would, especially when they’re in pain - it’s not always a limp or a yelp! Dogs are really good at hiding pain, so it’s hard to detect it. Often, their behavior is the only sign they are struggling with pain.

I know how stressful behavioral issues in dogs are for their owners and I am here to help you get to the bottom of what is happening.
