My 12-year-old dog has started sleeping all day and seems stiff getting up. Is this just aging or should I be worried?

It can be a bit of both — and it's worth a vet check rather than chalking it up to age.

Stiffness getting up, plus sleeping more, is very often arthritis / joint pain in older dogs. The good news: that's treatable, and many dogs get noticeably more comfortable with the right plan.

But "slowing down" can also overlap with things worth ruling out — thyroid issues, pain elsewhere, heart or weight changes. A senior exam (often with bloodwork) sorts that out.

Book a regular appointment, and mention sooner if you also notice:

  • Trouble with stairs, or reluctance to jump or be touched
  • Weight or appetite changes, or drinking much more
  • Sudden weakness, collapse, or signs of real pain

For now: keep walks gentle and regular, add traction (rugs/runners) on slick floors, and a soft, supportive bed. Don't give human pain meds — many are toxic to dogs.

What changes have you noticed in their mobility, appetite, or energy?

Why PetCare Ally exists

PetCare Ally began with animals I loved deeply.

When Henry, my Great Pyrenees, was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, and Buster Brown, my miniature pony, experienced a life-threatening emergency, I found myself trying to absorb complicated veterinary information while frightened and under pressure.

I did not need another search engine showing me every worst-case scenario. I needed help understanding what was happening, organizing the questions I needed to ask, and thinking clearly about what to do next.

PetCare Ally was built to offer that kind of support — to help pet parents feel more informed, prepared, and grounded while working alongside their veterinarian.

— Laura Strausberg, Founder

Laura Strausberg, Founder

Laura built PetCare Ally after experiencing how difficult it can be to make clear decisions when an animal you love is sick. Over decades of caring for dogs, cats, horses, and other animals, she has navigated cancer, emergencies, chronic conditions, aging, and end-of-life care. Those experiences showed her how overwhelming it can be to absorb veterinary information, understand the options, know what questions to ask, and decide what to do next.

For more than 20 years, Laura has also worked in healthcare, technology, and other complex environments where people must make important decisions under pressure. She created PetCare Ally to bring those two parts of her life together: deep devotion to animals and a practical ability to help people think clearly when the stakes feel high.
