How Galen Myotherapy Was A Game-Changer For My Senior Dog

17-year-old Bertie’s mobility, strength, and quality of life all showed marked improvement, despite his increasingly stiff, arthritic joints

According to Canine Arthritis Management, osteoarthritis affects a significant portion of dogs, with 80% of those aged 8 years and above.

Potentially, up to 35% of dogs of all ages experience this painful condition.

Those figures are quite the eye-opener.

From my own experience, the signs of osteoarthritis can initially be subtle.

These may include a gradual slowing down on walks, occasional balance issues on uneven ground, or difficulty getting up after an extended period of rest.

I began noticing all of these signs in our beloved Dubai desert dog, Bertie, once he got up into his mid-teens.

Once the most athletic of canines, Bertie’s explosive sprints and joyful ‘figure-of-8’ zoomies almost imperceptibly started morphing into slower, more labored movements.

While his spirits remained high and he never complained, his discomfort was obvious.
