Dogs can experience pain from a variety of health conditions, including [osteoarthritis](https://www.petcoach.co/dog/condition/arthritis-1/),[ dental disease](https://www.petcoach.co/dog/condition/dental-disease/), [urinary tract infections](https://www.petcoach.co/dog/condition/utis-in-dogs/) or traumatic injuries, among many others. While it is extremely difficult to see our four-legged friends in pain, there are no safe and effective over-the-counter medications for managing pain in dogs (or cats). Over the counter pain relievers for humans, such as ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin), acetaminophen (Tylenol) and naproxen (Aleve) are all toxic to animals.

There is another medication that I use in patients with refractory pain called amantadine, but I find it only effective when used in conjunction with NSAIDs. The periodic or daily use of many of these medications should be coupled with blood work at least twice yearly to be sure liver and kidney

Hi there and thank you for using Boop by Petco to address your concern. It sounds as though she is starting to suffer from arthritic pain. With her age, it is not surprising that she has developed arthritis. If you are not giving her any supplementation to help support healthy joints, I would recommend doing so. Below is a list of arthritis recommendations. I would also discuss pain management with your veterinarian as you will need prescribed medications to manage her pain. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
