How Do I Keep My Golden Retriever’s Joints Healthy?

How Do I Keep My Golden Retriever’s Joints Healthy?

Golden Retrievers are one of Australia’s most popular dog breeds for good reason. They’re loyal, intelligent, and full of life. But like many larger breeds, they can suffer from joint issues, especially as they get older or become less active.

Keeping your Golden Retriever’s joints healthy doesn’t just support their mobility; it helps them live a longer, more comfortable life. Here are a few ways to help your dog stay active and pain-free.

Watch for Signs of Joint Stiffness

  • Hesitation to jump or climb stairs
  • Limping or favouring one leg
  • Slower walks or shorter play sessions
  • Stiffness when getting up after rest

If you notice these signs, it’s time to look at preventive care.

Don’t Forget Skin & Coat Health

Golden Retrievers are known for their beautiful coats, but they’re also prone to skin irritations and allergies. Regular grooming can help with this.

  • Keep your dog at a healthy weight to reduce joint strain
  • Provide soft bedding and keep them warm in winter
  • Stick to a consistent walking routine – even gentle movement helps
