Understanding Canine Foot Alignment
⭐ New Blog Post ⭐

There are a variety of musculoskeletal issues that affect canine foot alignment. Some of these postural deviations are related to muscular weakness and can be improved with foot strengthening exercises.

Others, however, require imaging and/or veterinary intervention due to damage to the tenderness or ligamentous structures.

--

🧠 Learn to identify the five most common postural deviations through the canine foot, and and which underlying structures are stretch weak, overly stressed, or damaged.

Check out the comments for images of...

✅✅ Normal/correct feet (for all breeds!!)
❌⬇️ Flat Feet
❌↔️ Splay Foot/ Splayed Feet
❌🔄 Rolling off the Toe Pads
🚨⏫ Sprung Toe (damaged deep flexor)
🚨⏩ Flat Toe (damaged superficial flexor)

--

📖 Over the next few days I will unpack the physiology that underlies each postural deviation, and give some next step suggestions for keeping your pup sound and healthy!!

--

And these principles apply ACROSS ALL BREEDS!!! Regardless of whether the breed standard calls for 🐱 "cat feet" or 🐰"hare feet", as these conformational qualities refer to the length of the first phalanx... NOT the alignment of the phalanges themselves. No dog, regardless of breed, should ever be demonstrating postural deviations through the feet!!

☠️ This is a hill I will die on!!

If you want to sneak peek, check out the full blog post (link in comments). And let me know... Does your dog have any of these postural deviations??
