Pain relief for dogs with arthritis with West Paw toys
As a pet shop, you know there are customers who want more than just fun toys for their dog - they are looking for products that promote their pet's health, especially with conditions such as arthritis.
For dogs living with arthritis, finding relief can be a challenge. That’s why West Paw, a market leader in eco-friendly and safe dog toys, has developed an innovative range that offers more than just fun: these toys help with pain management and promote the mental and physical well-being of dogs with arthritis.
The Importance of Arthritis-Friendly Toys
West Paw's chew and puzzle toys can improve the lives of dogs with arthritis and provide owners and stores with an effective way to manage pain in dogs. Dr. Hannah Capon, founder of Canine Arthritis Management (CAM), recommends these products and emphasizes how “pleasurable chewing” can enhance a dog’s emotional well-being. This is particularly valuable for dogs with chronic pain, as a positive mood helps with effective pain management.
The Qwizl, Tux, Rumpus, Toppl, Rumbl, and Hurley are West Paw's arthritis-friendly toys, carefully designed to entertain without putting extra strain on joints. Unlike standard balls or toys that quickly roll away, these irregularly shaped toys are less likely to roll off, allowing dogs to chew and play in a stable, joint-friendly manner. Additionally, they provide mental stimulation, which is essential for pain management through distraction – a key method in veterinary pain management.

Supported by Experts, Recommended by Veterinarians
Dr. Capon, an award-winning veterinarian and advocate for raising awareness about arthritis in dogs, emphasizes that encouraging pleasurable chewing behavior positively impacts dogs' mental state, reducing their pain perception and keeping them engaged. "The puzzle toys from West Paw are challenging enough to keep the brain busy, but not so difficult that they cause frustration or a sense of defeat," says Dr. Capon. This balance is especially beneficial for dogs with chronic joint pain, who need manageable mental distractions to alleviate their discomfort.
Eco-Friendly Choice
Not only are West Paw products safe and effective for dogs with arthritis, but they also meet the growing demand for sustainable products. West Paw uses recycled materials and employs production methods that minimize environmental impact. As a Certified B Corp™, West Paw has recycled nearly 150,000 pounds of dog toys and repurposed millions of plastic bottles. This demonstrates the company’s commitment to both a healthy planet and healthy pets.
