Muscle Matters: A New Era in Canine Mobi...

Clinician's Brief
About this episode

When we think of mobility issues in dogs, our minds often jump straight to joint health, but how much thought do we really give to muscles? In this episode of the Partner Podcast, Dr. Leilani Alvarez sheds light on the often overlooked yet crucial role of muscle health in canine mobility. She shares how to spot early signs of muscle loss in pets and explores practical interventions to improve outcomes, including a new muscle support supplement that could be a game-changer for many patients.
