Symptoms of hip pain in dogs you shouldn’t ignore
Many pet owners mistake these signs for normal aging, but they may be treatable joint problems.
-
Stiffness or reluctance to rise after rest
-
Difficulty standing, climbing stairs, or jumping
-
Audible popping or clicking in the hip
-
Pain when touched near the hips
Why does treating your dog's hip problems early matter?
Chronic hip pain won’t resolve on its own.
Without surgery, joint damage often worsens over time, making recovery harder and less effective.
Early action leads to better outcomes.
Waiting too long allows arthritis and muscle loss to set in—making surgery and recovery more difficult.

Treating the cause is better long-term.
Addressing the root issue surgically helps prevent further degeneration and improves daily mobility.
Hip stability is essential to movement.
Repairing the joint gives your dog the ability to walk, run, and play with less strain and more confidence.
