As our furry friends age or face certain lifestyle factors, we’re seeing more cases of CCL tears. But don’t worry! We are here to help get your pooch back on all four paws.
How does a tear happen? Many reasons:
Predisposed Breeds: Certain breeds are more prone to orthopedic issues than others such as Golden Retrievers, Rottweilers, Labs, German Shorthaired Pointers, Boxers and more.
Bad Breeding: Poor breeding practices can set your pup up for joint trouble.
Obesity: Extra snacks = extra strain on those precious joints! Let’s avoid the "fluff" and keep it lean.
Natural Load on CCL: Our furry friends walk with their knees bent, putting stress on the CCL at all times
Lack of Exercise: No zoomies = no muscle! Keep those muscles strong with regular playtime and exercise.
Missed Warning Signs: Limping? Stiffness? Don’t ignore those little hints—early detection is your best friend!
Prevention Tips to Keep Your Pup’s Joints Healthy:
Keep Your Pup at a Healthy Weight: No more extra treats or sneaky snacks! A healthy dog is a happy dog.
Give a Quality Joint Supplement: Glucosamine/MSM - your dog's new BFFs for joint health!
Post-Surgery TLC: If your pup needs surgery, rehabilitation therapy helps them get back to chasing squirrels in no time!
