5 Hidden Signs Your Senior Dog Is In Pain

Описание: Is your dog slowing down, acting “off,” or just not moving like they used to?
Most dogs never cry when they’re hurting—but the signs of pain are there if you know what to look for.

Hi, I’m Dr. Peter Mosites from Mermaid Vet Hospital, and in today’s video I’m breaking down the 5 hidden signs your dog may be in pain. These are the subtle clues I look for every single day in the exam room, and catching them early can make a huge difference in your dog’s comfort and long-term health.

In this video, you’ll learn:

• The mobility changes most owners mistake for “just getting older”
• Behavior shifts that often point to discomfort
• How sleep patterns reveal chronic pain
• What appetite changes really mean
• The posture and grooming habits that signal something is wrong

Whether you have a senior dog or you’re just trying to keep your pet as healthy as possible, this video will give you clear, veterinarian-backed guidance on what to watch for.
