5 Signs Your Senior Dog Is Starting to Slip - Before the Fall

Nobody notices a dog starting to slip. They notice the fall.
Usually at night, usually on the hardwood, usually after weeks of small things that looked like just getting old.

  1. Back legs splay or swim when getting up from the floor.
  2. You hear nails scrabbling at night.
  3. Your dog picks the rug and avoids the bare floor.
  4. The sit-down is sudden, not chosen.
  5. Your vet has mentioned weak back legs and told you to do something about the slippery floor.

The free one-page PDF shows what each sign looks like, what to do tonight, and a paw ruler you can print.
