I am not saying if your dog is in terrible pain you shouldn't medicate them. But a little pain is the best way to make sure they won't hurt it worse.
I semi- agree. Layla picks up her leg here and there but i would never put her on medication for it unless it affected her daily life. I hate overmedicating if it is not needed.
