I think Pluto recently became a planet again.
This is a good point, although I know that he did have a limp when he was 1-2 as a puppy when he would run around own the beach all day. We assumed it was because he had raw paws form running on the rocks and sand, but it was you the time that we switched to the different food so it could be an earlier allergen coming back with age?
Thank you this is a good point! I appreciate this!
In the past 40 years we had our share of dogs with horrible food allergies while feeding them prefabricated processed stuff, no matter how high the price range. And then switched to real food - much better control of ingredients and it is not more expensive. It just takes a bit more of planning ahead and a nice sized deep-freezer.
Good idea, we do filter our water because we were worried about the quality so we could be giving them filtered water too. We did get a water test and it wasn't that bad, but we still use the filtered water for us just incase, so why not do this for the dogs!
That could possibly be it although I don’t think food would cause limping? But I’m not sure. I would really get him tested for Lyme disease. It’s a relatively simple mix and might solve his issues. It can go dormant I think once they have it. So that could explain it too. He could also have joint issues possibly? Labs are prone to hip and joint issues. I would try giving him a supplement like Dasuquin or Cosequin. They can help prevent issues.
