As dogs age, changes in movement are normal but slowing down isn’t always just “getting old.” Many dogs experience compensatory muscle pain and joint changes that reduce their quality of life. Understanding the difference helps you support your dog’s comfort and keep them active for longer.

This practical half-day workshop helps caregivers recognise the difference between normal ageing and discomfort, understand common mobility challenges and learn simple ways to support their dog’s wellbeing.

Suitable for middle-aged and older dogs, or any dog beginning to show stiffness, reluctance to move or changes in activity.
