5 Painful Health Conditions for Dogs 

Arthritis

Arthritis causes inflammation in the joints, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. It commonly affects older dogs but can also occur in younger ones.

Dental disease

Untreated dental problems in dogs, such as gum disease, tooth decay, and abscesses, can cause significant pain, impacting their eating, overall health, and quality of life.

Intervertebral disc disease

IVDD involves the degeneration or herniation of spinal discs, leading to back pain, nerve compression, and potential paralysis. Certain dog breeds are more prone to this condition.

Pancreatitis

Pancreatitis in dogs involves pancreatic inflammation, causing abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and appetite loss, often triggered by factors like diet or underlying health issues.

Urinary tract stones

Dogs can develop bladder or kidney stones, which can obstruct the urinary tract and lead to pain during urination, frequent urination, blood in the urine, and discomfort.
