Dogs today are living longer than ever. According to Science.org, better healthcare and nutrition have nearly doubled canine life expectancy over the past four decades. This means we get to enjoy many more years with our best friends—but it also means that more dogs face age-related health challenges like joint pain and mobility problems.
Common mobility issues in dogs include arthritis, hip dysplasia, degenerative myelopathy, cruciate ligament injuries, and muscle atrophy. These conditions can make it harder for dogs to move freely, play, and enjoy the activities they love most.
Mobility Issues in Active Dogs
Mobility challenges aren’t limited to senior dogs. Active and athletic dogs can also experience inflammation, soreness, and stiffness after intense exercise. Sports, long hikes, and agility training can take a toll on a dog’s joints and muscles over time. Fortunately, choosing the right diet can help reduce post-exercise inflammation and support recovery.

Vetdiet®: A Formula Built for Mobility
Vetdiet® Adult Mobility dog food is an advanced nutritional formula created to support active dogs and reduce inflammation after exercise. It contains the ideal balance of protein and fat for sustained energy, with real meat as the first ingredient.
Developed by Vetdiet’s Health and Nutrition Advisory Board, which includes veterinarians and animal nutrition experts, this innovative formula was designed based on research into how diet affects joint health and inflammation. Their discovery: the key active ingredient, N-butyric acid, helps minimize post-exercise inflammation and promotes faster recovery.
