There may be something physically bothering your dog that isn’t immediately apparent.

Dogs are generally active for short bursts of the day. A typical day in your dog’s world will include waking up with their owner, mealtime, bathroom breaks, playtime, and walk time. There may be something physically bothering your dog that isn’t immediately apparent. Dogs react to pain differently than we do, and it’s often associated with being lethargic and sleeping the days away. There are many treatments for arthritis, and many things you can do at home to ease their pain. It might just be that your dog is bored. Some dogs take boredom and seek relief by resting in a comfortable spot, rather than chase a ball. It’s common for dogs to experience joint pain as they get older. Senior dogs will typically sleep longer, which is perfectly normal. As your dog sails past the 10 year old mark, be aware of symptoms that could signal something more serious. If you find any of these abnormalities then a vet will help diagnose and treat your dog.
