What causes hip and joint pain in dogs?
In addition to breed-specific disposition, there are other common risk factors for developing hip and joint pain in dogs:
• Age (specifically older dogs)
• Obesity and/or poor nutrition
• Repetitive actions or movements
• Serious injuries (e.g. fractures and ligament tears)
Unlike humans, animals are less expressive about their pain. While internal pain is not immediately observable to us humans, there are related symptoms that you may notice with your elderly pet. Here are some signs that may signal that your furry companion may be dealing with hip and joint pain and could benefit from using CBD.
• Stiffness
• A reluctance to move or get up that is not typical of your dog’s behavior
• Weight gain: Your dog may gain weight due to decreased activity and increased lethargy (CBD can help with lethargy in your dog, read more about CBD here).
• Unusual peeing/pooping behavior: If you start noticing accidents around the house, it may be related to your dog’s reluctance to get up or walk far to reach their usual potty location.
• Changes in behavior: Your dog may become aggressive or hide instead of being his usual friendly and active self. Or maybe instead of enjoying the usual cuddle, your pup avoids being pet or avoids people in general.
• Decreased excitement: Does your dog normally go absolutely crazy for a good frisbee session in the park but no longer seems interested in outings? As hip and joint pain becomes more likely as your dog gets older, you can use a favorite activity as a gauge for their level of pain and discomfort.
• Restlessness during sleep as your dog tries to find a comfortable position.
Greenwell Pet was created by Natalie Youn, founder of DoggieLawn and Bark Potty. As a seasoned business owner working in the pet industry, Greenwell Pet grew out of a concern for the rate and frequency of pet illnesses that she was hearing about from dog owners. When Natalie was confronted with some of the same issues with her own two elderly dogs, Walnut and Mia, she found that there was no convenient and efficient way to shop and compare wellness products.
Can CBD help my dog’s joint pain and stiffness?
Luckily, CBD may be able to simultaneously relieve sleeplessness and restlessness in dogs, in addition to potentially providing relief for any aches. Like many other ailments that CBD can address, its uses for hip and joint pain are twofold. For those of us who have had older dogs (ordeal with hip and joint pain yourself), we know the daily discomfort that comes with chronic pain that makes even the most mundane tasks difficult.
Chronic pain can cause unsettled sleep if it is severe enough to wake your dog during the night. Ingestible CBD could provide a more restful sleep as it may help relieve both pain and restlessness.
Restlessness: Despite what one might assume, sleeping or resting can be a particularly difficult time for those that have joint pain or stiffness. Certain positions put a huge amount of pressure and weight on their joints, which is why you may often see your dog readjusting or pacing when they would normally be sleeping or resting. By tackling the root issues of disturbed sleep, such as discomfort and restlessness, you may find your dog rests more easily with the use of CBD.
Pain and stiffness: When it comes to joint pain, there are multiple causes. Some of the most common are:
• Degeneration or inflammation of the cartilage
• Stiffening of elastic tissue
• Blood vessels around the joint dilate and become swollen or inflamed
• Formation of calcium deposits near nerve endings that cause pain signals to be sent.
So how does CBD address these issues? CBD may help relieve symptoms of joint pain and stiffness for your dog by reducing inflammation. It can also work indirectly by increasing energy and appetite, which may motivate your pet to be more active. This combination of reducing inflammation and energizing your pup can be especially useful if your dog needs to shed some weight in order to relieve their joint pain.
Aggression
CBD oil affects the endocannabinoid system, which is a lot like “a bridge between the body and mind” (Cannanine). Because CBD activates this system, it can be productive for simultaneously addressing both pain and aggression if you find that your dog is being aggressive in response to pain.
As an outward expression of stress, aggression can be a natural canine response to threats to their basic survival instincts and needs. Whether they're being territorial due to a new environment, are feeling protective of their family, or are responding negatively to pain, CBD can help ease your dog’s aggression.
It’s important to determine what the cause of your dog’s aggression is and if it’s physical or behavioral. CBD can help in both regards, but your pup will need you to make sure you are also tending to the larger issue at hand.
