A change in behaviour is often the first indicator that your dog might be in pain. Dogs may become irritable, withdrawn or refuse to jump into the car. They may no longer want to interact with other dogs because they anticipate pain. Mobility issues can affect their body language so other dogs no longer understand their intentions. In this video, Roz Pooley and Hannah Capon discuss how pain should always be considered as a factor when a dog’s behaviour changes. Drawing on their own personal experiences, they explain how we need to adapt our homes, our own behaviour and our lifestyle choices to meet our dogs’ needs and improve quality of life for them in their later years.

Every CAM LIVE finishes with Ten Top Tips for managing your arthritic dog (from 1:02:58 in this video).

Roz Pooley originally trained with Norwegian dog trainer, Turid Rugaas. After that she completed dog trainer school with Sheila Harper and gained a diploma in canine behaviour and canine aggression. She is now in her final year of a master’s degree in Clinical Animal Behaviour with The University of Edinburgh.

Canine Arthritis Management (CAM) is a veterinary driven initiative, set up by vet Hannah Capon who was becoming overwhelmed with the number of dogs she was having to put to sleep having "gone off their legs". This was often seen by the owners as a sudden incident, when in truth that dog had probably been suffering in silence for a long time prior to that day. In fact, we believe that as many as 1 in 5 dogs in the UK, and 80% of dogs over the age of 8, will have some degree of osteoarthritis. Unlike humans, dogs are unable to express their pain in words. Chronic pain is no doubt something most people will understand and empathise with, but it can be difficult to tell when a dog is suffering in the same way. We want to challenge the preconceived notion that "just getting old" or "slowing down" should be accepted in our four footed companions. Ageing in itself is not a disease! Here at CAM we think that by changing owner, vet and public perception of arthritis, we can improve and extend the lives of dogs.
