Moving from tropics to cold weather with a senior dog who has arthritis
Hello everyone,
i'm moving from the tropics to cold Canadian weather with my senior dog who has arthritis. She was born in the tropics. It's not something I like doing but no choice. one of my questions is: what temperature should I keep the apt in the winter so that she is comfy.
thx

yes it is something I thought about. 1 of tabs she is currently on is Tramadol, and I read that it's not compatible with CBD Oil so I will have to discuss with the vet. Thank youYou are welcome. Since you are moving to Canada, I suggest speaking with your new vet about CBD oil which is totally legal in Canada. It helps many dogs, but not all.
i really do hope it helps her.. it pains me to put her thru it as it will be a major adjustment for her.I hope the move goes well for you and for your dog. I know someone who made a similar move with a similarly arthritic dog. The cold actually helped the dog! The little thing is apparently more active in the colder north than in the warmer south.
i was thinking of a sheepskin rug...some humans have said it helped with their arthritis...i will look into the self-warming beds as well. thank youYou could also try a heated bed for her. They also make self-warming beds that helps maintain body heat.
