It is not just a saying but also a fact that dogs are humans&#8217; best friends. Unfortunately, dogs face a lot of health issues in their lifetime. The good thing is that most of these problems can be prevented with proper treatment and vaccinations. There are now more ways to improve your canine friend\u2019s life. Take arthritis, for example. It can permanently damage their joints, and there was previously no cure for it. However, there are now safer options such as natural supplements to treat joint problems and arthritis in dogs.&nbsp;A supplement such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.petbouncedirect.com\/\">Pet Bounce for dogs<\/a> is embedded with natural ingredients and provides the best arthritis pain relief<strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are 10 most common problems that dogs have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"1_Ear_infectionsnbsp\">1. Ear infections<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ear infections are very common in dogs. Painful swelling, constant scratching, ear odor, and redness of the ears are some of the symptoms. Take your dog to the vet if you think he is having any of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"2_Skin_issuesnbsp\">2. Skin issues<strong>&nbsp;     <\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are about more than 160 skin disorders&nbsp;of&nbsp;dogs. Dogs may develop skin issues such as itchy skin, allergies from parasites, dandruff, bacterial skin infections, and many more. Bathe your dog with salty water to prevent infections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"3_Dental_diseasesnbsp\">3. Dental diseases<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Bad breath is a sign of dental disease. Brush your dog\u2019s teeth every day and take him for regular oral checkups.<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"4_Obesity\">4. Obesity<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most common and fastest-growing problems in dogs is obesity. Talk to the vet and have a weight loss plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"5_Urinary_tract_infection\">5. Urinary tract infection<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This can be really painful for them, as this disease may cause them to strain while urinating, which is one of the few common signs. Others include blood in urine, inappropriate urination, frequent urination, lethargy, and increased thirst. These symptoms can be treated with antibiotics to kill the bacteria. Consult the vet to understand the cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"6_Vomiting\">6. Vomiting<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A dog may vomit because of several reasons. It can be a sign of toxicity or overeating. Watch your dog and take him to the vet if he keeps vomiting.<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"7_Diarrhea\">7. Diarrhea<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ongoing diarrhea can even lead to dehydration. Determine the cause and create a plan accordingly.<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"8_Poisoning\">8. Poisoning<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s a variety of toxins. Prevent poisoning by monitoring your dog\u2019s environment.<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span id=\"9_Heartworm\">9. Heartworm<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Heartworm is a very common parasite found in dogs. You can stop it in its tracks with monthly preventive treatments. Discuss them with your vet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"mce_28\"><span id=\"10_Arthritis\">10. Arthritis<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Arthritis in dogs is a common problem and may worsen with age.&nbsp;Some veterinarians also recommend supplements such as glucosamine and chondroitin. You may visit the vet or use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.petbouncedirect.com\/\">Pet Bounce for dogs<\/a> to get relief from arthritis. No other supplement could be better than this&nbsp;natural anti-inflammatory joint pain relief for dogs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Kathreen Miller, guest writer Edited&nbsp;by&nbsp;Nancee-Laetitia&nbsp;Marin Dogs are incredible creatures.
