Our Rottie had a really bad weekend with arthritis and it seems she now has it in her two front legs. Seems to have bounced back to near her normal self now but I'm wondering what we can buy to improve her quality of life.

She is 39kg so quite light for a Rottie, fit and gets glucosimine daily,, cartrophen and fish skins at the weekend.

Thanks in advance

Sorry to hear, perhaps you can find something here:

I don't have personal experience but I remember seeing the Knuffelwuff ones on the German amazon rated well. (Im in Austria so the default amazon here is the German one)

My (fairly elderly) rescue cats love this with a blanket over it:

The old lab has arthritis so we got him one of these.

He loves it and can sleep in any position he wants and it's easy for him to get in and out of.

Thanks everyone, went for a pair of orthopaedic memory foam ones. Pretty damn comfy, might get myself one

Hope it helps!

I do love rotties, we had a huge rottie in the family when I was very young, he was like a bear!

You should post a pic into the photo thread smile
