Can my dog get arthritis from sleeping on a cold hard floor?
Can my dog get arthritis from sleeping on a cold tile floor? We don't make him sleep there and move him to a bed when we see him on the cold floor, but he always goes back. I don't want him to get arthritis but he seems to always choose tile floors to sleep on.

No, but if he already has it, it will make him feel worse. Arthritis is an auto immune disease you can’t catch it like the flu. If he chooses to sleep there he might enjoy the cold floor because he’s hot .

Arthritis doesn’t enter the picture; Your dog is hot. He cools down on the floor. He knows best.
