My senior dog struggles to sit and stand. Is it time for a vet visit?

Question

Hi, My name is alyssa and my great pyrennes is getting older. ive noticed that his hips have gotten harder for him to sit down and stand up. I ask him to “sit” and he wont touch the floor. I have tried multiple vitamins and supplements to try to help but nothing has worked. Is this something i need to talk to my vet about?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I would absolutely talk to your vet about this. There are lots of medication options that are stronger than supplements and could possibly help Sampson be a lot more comfortable. You can even discuss non-medication options like physical therapy and laser treatment. Your vet can go over the best options for you and Sampson. Kisses to him!
