If you share your home with a small or older dog, this is worth two minutes of your time...
Because right at this moment, in living rooms all over the country, thousands of little dogs are quietly wearing down their own joints and spines...
And most of their owners don't even realize it's happening.
Have you ever watched your dog hesitate before a jump, land a little harder than they used to, or take an extra second to get up after a nap — and told yourself "they're just getting older"? That's not the whole story.
The truth is that a huge share of small and aging dogs develop joint and back strain that could have been avoided entirely — and much of it starts with something as ordinary as hopping off the couch.
