Your Whole Dog

So today I took a tumble whilst out walking the morning crew (not hurt) apart from my pride 🙈 Two of the dogs came running up to me with lots of slobber and kisses 🥰 Three of the dogs basically laughed at me and thought it was a game. 🤨 Can you guess which dogs are guilty of laughing at my obvious distress🧐

Do Dogs Need To Sleep With Pillows? We’ve all seen our dogs rest their heads on people and objects. They seem to like sleeping with a neck support, just as we do. Dogs are just as likely to sleep with their heads dangling off the edge of the bed, with their all four paws in the air, or in a pretzel pose that seems impossible. Some dogs will actively seek out pillows, but not all. It is possible that a dog may feel uncomfortable, but he or she may not be able to understand why. Pillows can help your dog discover the magic of neck support. Dogs should have pillows available to them, or a bed with sides that serve as neck support even if they don’t always need to use them. #caninearthritis #yourdogmoreyears #boveytracey #caninehealth #caninemuscletherapy #devondogs #dogbehaviour #yourwholedog #liverton #anxiousdogs #newtonabbot #dynamicdog #caninemusclepain #galenmyotherapy #kingsteighnton

💥September is Pain Awareness Month.💥 🐾Dogs suffer pain just like people do. Pain comes in many forms: surgical pain, arthritis and cancer-related pain, just to name a few. 🐶 🐶Acute pain is obvious and distressing. Chronic pain can be subtle, and masked as “getting old” or “slowing down.” Old age is NOT a disease, but pain is. 🐾 🐾Often our dogs suffer in silence. Because dogs can’t speak, it can sometimes be difficult to identify when they’re in pain. 🐶 🐶This is whether it's due to injury or an underlying issue. However, there are a variety of signs, some more obvious than others. 🐾 🐾Shaking, flattened ears, low posture, aggression, grumpy temperament, panting or crying, excessive licking or scratching a selected area, reluctant to exercise, lameness (limping), stiffness after rest, loss of appetite. 🐶 🐶If your dog is less energetic or less cheerful than usual, doesn’t engage in the activities he usually enjoys, acts restless, becomes unusually clingy, or stops socializing as much or as happily as he is accustomed to, not wanting to play or be near other dogs, he could also be experiencing discomfort. 🐾 🐾Paying attention to the signs of pain will mean the difference between a lifetime of suffering and a lifetime of comfort and health for your dog. 🐶 🐶If you are concerned it is always wise to contact your vet for advice. 🐾 #mondaythoughts #pain #painawarenessmonth #ivapm #ivapmvet #nopetpain #noanimalpain #saynotopetpain #animalpainawareness #veterinarypainmanagement #caninearthritis #yourdogmoreyears #caninehealth #boveytracey #caninemuscletherapy #devondogs #yourwholedog #liverton #newtonabbot #reactivedogs #dynamicdog #caninemusclepain #galenmyotherapy #kingsteignton

Thoughtful Thursday 🤔 A lot of dog parents throw balls for their dogs, and many dogs seem to enjoy chasing balls, but it can cause harm, not just to dogs who already have musculoskeletal problems such as arthritis, but to young dogs as well. It may be surprising to learn that one of the most popular "ways of exercising dogs" is actually one of the most harmful to them. 🙁🐾🐾 #canine-arthritis #yourdogmoreyears #boveytracey #caninehealth #caninemuscletherapy #dogbehaviour #devondogs #yourwholedog #liverton #newtonabbot #dynamicdog #caninemusclepain #galenmyotherapy

Oh my goodness, some days are just so hard for me at work.🤭🐾🐶

Dogs can display 6 different gaits: walk, pace, amble, trot, canter, and gallop. Does your dog pace? Should your dog exhibit this movement, you might want to consider speaking with your vet. 🐾🐶 #caninearthritis #yourdogmoreyears #boveytracey #caninehealth #caninemuscletherapy #devondogs #dogbehaviour #dogbehaviourtraining #yourwholedog #caninebehaviourist #reactivedogs #dynamicdog #caninemusclepain #galenmyotherapy #canineprofessionals
