Katie Cassidy (Arrow, Supernatural) joins us this week and reflects on how her crazy upbringing molded her to become independent and how difficult this is when peers see it as being standoffish.
Katie shares her struggle to make it on her own at a very young age, despite what some would assume she was given based on her family name.
We also share stories of getting bullied in our childhood, we share reflections on loved ones lost, and Katie dishes on some BTS Arrow stories.
ARROWVERSE STAR KATIE CASSIDY (2021) Inside of You Podcast w/ Michael Rosenbaum #insideofyou #arrow - Zábava
Katie is such a genuine and incredible person. Michael strikes again with another great watch. Lots of love❤️
you rock! Thanks for supporting the show. appreciate it! -Rosey
Mad respect to Katie Cassidy. She was an essential actress in the superhero boom. Major role on Arrow which lead the charge on CW way back in 2012
I love Katie Cassidy. I almost stopped watching Arrow because of what they did her Black Canary character. She had some great stories to tell. She is great.
I hated the Olicity crap 😑
Thanks for watching -Rosey
I LOVED her as Ruby in Supernatural. I've had this love hate thing with Arrow. I'll watch it for a while, then they do something like this that pisses me off, then I'd stop watching, then go back to it. Then rinse, wash, and repeat.

I can’t believe I didn’t know this was David Cassidy’s daughter. The struggles she went through early on I had no idea. Honestly I thought oh young Hollywood actress probably easiest life of all time. I was wrong much respect.

“Cuz you are so inside yourself... wait, what?” - Rosey 😂 This was fantastic and made me laugh aloud. So perfect!
czcams.com/video/PqoNlP2w9NI/video.html
Katie was so amazing in the Hidden Agenda game that I just adored.
Katie Cassidy as your guest just awesome. She was amazing as Black Siren during season 5 and onwards with Arrow. Of course her guest starring debut in the Flash really launched the character so well. Her character in Taken film was just a sad demise. Her family is an acting dynasty. Her uncle Patrick Cassidy also guest starred in Smallville season 2 and guest starred in Lois and Clark The New Adventures of Superman as Lex Luthor Clone. David Cassidy guest starring in the original Flash as the Mirror Master in the 90's show was great.

Also ruby in supernatural and Harper's island is something I recommend you check out as well. Good show
Rosey, the intro...my heart. Sending lots of love, light and comfort your way. 💙
Love Katie Cassidy. One of my current crushes. Always my favorite on Arrow as both Laurels and Black Canary. Also really love her on Supernatural as Ruby and Harper's Island as Trish. She is always so humble and gorgeous.
She's a lovely person. Love to hear self-made peoples stories.
Me too. 😊
Thanks for watching! Spread the word! -Rosey
my mother and I found it incredible. not only because of her personality (which even without knowing her in person, looks incredible), but because of her ability to act, if she is sad, I feel sad, if she smiles, I want to smile together.🌷
So True what Katie says about lifting each other up. I've never understood it either why people can't just lift up and support each other. Afterall, it is love and kindness that are most important. People need so much more of these especially in the times we are living.
Ahh! Awesome. She's such a bad ass. Loved her ever since Supernatural.
Love her as Ruby on Supernatural as well. My two favorites of hers Dinah Laurel Lance/Black Canary and Ruby.
And her character in the 2010 Nightmare on Elm Street remake Kris should have been the protagonist going up against Freddy because Rooney Mara's performance as Nancy sucked. Mara not liking the horror genre was no excuse for giving a bad performance.
I never put 2 and 2 together that she is David Cassidy's daughter, and watching the interview I can definitely now see a resemblance. I watched the Partridge Family all the time growing up as a kid. goodtime family tv. I miss those days
Yeah I didnt notice it until now as well. Glad she did not get the liquor demon. And has such a positive spirit to her.
I've actually never heard that saying. That living in the past equals depression and that living in the future is anxiety. Cause that's often how I find myself thinking and living. Especially with relationships. Seems obvious but I guess not to me. Thanks for the help guys 😊😊💙
Hey, Michael, the intro where you talk about Irv really struck a chord for me as my mum is going through almost the exact same thing with her beautiful dog, Bella. It’s so hard to know when the right time is. My heart goes out to you and the dogs. Sending you all lots of love.
That was what the last 4 months of my husky's life wre like (old age -15 and cancer) needed help walking until he couldn't walk without support, eating got worse and worse and it ended on april 21 2020. He loved walking so much, so much so that we switched who walked him like a F1 pit stop.
He finally got on her the Pod Yay I love Katie,
Hope she comes back soon ...love to see her
Thanks for watching -Rosey
Wow. Only 30 minutes in. Can not believe how much I can relate to her. It is really comforting knowing that I am not the only person who can be a loner and does not always feel comfortable in big crowds. - Rosey, really feel for ya. I have had to make some tough quality of life decisions regarding my cats. Really broke me when I had to put one of them down a few years ago. Sending you much love.
So can I. With being a loner. And especially with the bullying/anxiety. As I was bullied in school for my CP, and havedealt with anxiety/depression because of it.
1:07:34 I love how Rosey says “thank you for allowing me to be inside you and Katie’s like “say what you just said again” and he changes what he said 🤣😆😂
I. ..I uh think that every single time he says that 😳 🤣
Her relationships with her father(s) really brought back thoughts about my father(s). Two are no longer here. I relate.
Didn't know much about Katie but she is a really cool individual. Both my dog and my sister's dog stopped eating and drinking when it was their time. Irv will let you know when he is ready. Though it doesn't make euthanasia any easier, you know you're preventing him from suffering.
Amen.
Katie Cassidy really got dealt a bad hand with the writing of Season 4 of Arrow.
They started pandering to the Olicity cult. The shippers also started saying she only got the role of Laurel by sleeping with someone on the show because they resented the fact that Laurel was a better more popular character than Felicity. They also couldn't project their "nerdy girl gets rich good looking guy" fantasies onto the character of Laurel like they could Felicity.
@@Xehanort10 I wasn't even that big of a Laurel fan on the show (writing's fault, not Katie's), but Felicity in Seasons 3-5 was just the worst and yeah, the pandering to the Olicity cult was terrible. It damaged not just Laurel, but quite a few more female characters in Arrow- Sara, Helena, to name a few, since Oliver's relationship with Sara was the best in the show, and him and Laurel could have been good if the writers hadn't botched it for Olicity. Sucks what was done to her, and I didn't like their treatment of Black Siren either. In Season 4, I was finally liking Laurel as a character, then they killed her off.
@@fiction5559 Season 3 and 4 with a better trained Laurel and Felicity getting stabbed with an arrow by Darhk. Oh and also no retconning Oliver into meaning it when he said he loved Felicity because at the end of Season 2 he only said that so she could get close enough to inject Slade with the Mirakuru cure. He only saw Felicity as a friend and teammate until the showrunners caved in to shippers. I liked Oliver and Sara's relationship as well.
@@Xehanort10 No kidding, I'd be fine with it. Though for Felicity, I'm imagining no one dies at prison, and Felicity is killed off by Darkh's men wherever she is as a message to Oliver's team. And yeah, we don't need that retcon. My personal headcanon is that Oliver was hurting after Sara left for the League (which was just OOC of her since she was willing to kill herself few episodes ago instead of returning, it was done so she doesn't stand in Olicity's way of course), and so he transferred his feelings for Sara into Felicity to ease the hurt, but he never loved her, and she only loved a fantasy version of him she had in her head, not the real person.
True. I like Earth 2 Laurel buuut she can sometimes be Ehhh?
OMG, she would be a fantastic Catwoman
Definitely
Absolutely. I see it.
Not really. She doesn’t give those Caribbean side

Hee hee f-bombs!! I'm actually trying to cut back on my swearing. Being a pastor's daughter you'd think I'd have figured that out ages ago!!!🤣
You figure it out by making it a natural habit not to swear in front of your Dad. Eventually it sinks in, although I didn't have to deal with a pastor like you do. If your Dad has a problem with you swearing elsewhere (under the right circumstances) then that's his problem, not yours.
There's nothing wrong with cutting back though, especially if you feel you swear too much for your personal liking. :-)
The trick is to find hilarious alternatives that it's so much more enjoyable to say to watch people's reactions.
This is cool! Hopefully you talk about her future within the arrowverse. Looking forward to this:)
Hope you enjoyed it! -Rosey
I love watching ur podcasts because ur an amazing person and I didn’t know she was David Cassidy Daughter but I like hearing her stories and Katie was amazing on Supernatural loved her Ruby plus Arrow as a beautiful Black Canary it a sweet Laurel Lance ! Micheal you and your friend are the best ! Love ur album 💿
Wooooow. Goood for you Katie!!! She knew what she wanted at a young age. I wish I had the courage at that age.
have loved Katie Cassidy in her roles. She nails it. She was very genuine and it showed. Thank you.
You rock! Thanks for watching -Rosey
She was great on Arrow. Great episode Rosey 🤙💪✌😎
Thanks for watching -Rosey
When The Real Lex meets The Black Canary from another universe!!! 😱 Another amazing episode Michael 💙 Thank you for all you do🙏
thanks for supporting the show and good lord. get more folks to subscribe. :) -Rosey
Enjoyed hearing which Broadway shows moved you and Katie to tears. All my love to you and Irv.
Thanks Vivian! Appreciate ya! -Rosey
I can identify with the fact that I feel other peoples energy as well. It is important to have alone time.
💯
Any time Michael releases a podcast episode is a great day. Ms Cassidy is the cherry on top
Love ya. Thanks for watching -Rosey
Love Katie Cassidy!! She was such a badass Black Canary and Black Siren. I'm so excited for this episode. Some of my favourite scenes on Arrow were between her and Paul Blackthorne. Maybe you can try and get him on the podcast? 🤔 Thank you so much for getting her. Can't wait to hear what stories she shares. You always get the best guests. I know I always said that, but it is so damn true!
Thank you Michael.
Happy Tuesday ^_^ 💙
I LOVE Katie and Paul together!! No matter which character Katie was playing, their scenes together were always immaculate.
yesssss. wildly underrated actor imo. sooooo good as black siren
I was bullied too grade 7 to 11. Two girls threatened me a few times it was hard at times. I had to defend myself in grade 11, thus the 1 girl left me alone afterwards. And the second dropped out. I too was one that kept to myself and had a few friends I hang out with most times. Than I found my escape, the Wonderful World of Purebred Dogs and K9 Sports. Horse backriding was also a huge thing to help me. And today my dogs are my passion, my life.
Listening to Katie deal with bullies, was encouraging, that we all have had someone Bully at us at some point in life or another. Great to hear how she dealt with life in front of her. Great episode again guys, thanks.
She's cool, love her role in SPN. 😉 Thank you, Rosey. 😍
You rock! Thanks for watching -Rosey
Watching right now..... I'm crying at the intro... My heart goes out to you ❤️ You are an amazing dog dad Michael. Irv loves you, you take such amazing care of him and give him so much love. Sending lots of love, hugs, prayers and light your way ❤️❤️❤️
I am delighted with the interview, I really like Cassidy and, of her roles
eternally canary.😎
Thanks ...
czcams.com/video/PqoNlP2w9NI/video.html
thanks for bringing her, that was amazing and inspiring ❤
Katie was a great antagonist in the Melrose Place reboot too.
Being a huge fan of Smallville, it's no surprise I'm a fan of the Arrowverse!
Katie is fabulous! Can't wait to see who your next guest will be.
Rosey, you are so good at this Podcasting business.
So glad I found this on CZcams!
Thanks for watching! Come back for more! -Rosey

I so enjoyed this interview with Katie Cassidy I so loved her on supernatural and arrow 😍🥰😘🤗😃😀
Love ya. Thanks for watching -Rosey
Just sat down for my morning coffee and got that notification. Good timing, Michael! 😎👍
I am here to serve! Ha! Hope you liked it! -Rosey
Such a great interview, Katie had some great stories to tell and would be great to have her back on and here more. She was a joy to watch/listen to
You rock! Thanks for watching -Rosey
Im currently on Season 6 of Arrow. It is amazing to see Katie return as Laurel. If i have a daughter in the future i would totally name her Laurel.
So would I.
I know Katie from Supernatural. Her character made me mad, but she was supposed to, so she did a good job. ;) I almost forgot about Taken! I'm glad you talked a little about that one. So cool she had a good experience with Liam. He always seems like a good guy. and Katie IS a great actor. I also knew she was in Arrow, from my sister who watches. These were touching stories. It's weird, in a good way, to see these sides of actors. You see how REAL they are...vulnerable. Amazing. Thank you.
Also, I wanted to tell you, when you were talking about your dog in the beginning...I resonated with that. We lost our amazing cat, Apollo, of 17 years, in 2019. The situation was kind of similar to yours. It was the last 4 days we had him that it was a real struggle and we decided to put him down, with the vet's agreeance as well. I'm going to pray for you and your dog.
Loved this! Thank you! Sending hugs to Katie
No burden Michael, you're being real on your Podcast and topics like these help us connect more. I've had several dogs throughout my life and having them go seems to never go away.
I love that you met at Supanova in Australia! 😜 Great episode. Learnt a lot about Katie.
Your intro was heart wrenching. You and Irv will know when it's time. You have all my love and thoughts
Your end of podcast music cracks me up lol. Great episode per usual! Big fan of Katie from Harper's Island, Melrose reboot, Supernatural... Great lady, and surprised to find out she's introverted like me. ❤️
you rock! Thanks for supporting the show and tell your friends! -Rosey
I will say, that I show up for Rosey each and every single time....I totally remember when you were doing FB LIVE all the time, right before you came up with the conception for your podcast (before you transitioned to showing the recordings on YT). But of course, like for me, and so many others, my love for you comes from your tenure with Smallville....(You will always be the Villain of the story)...and While Gene Hackman will always be my First Lex, with Clancy Brown being the voice in my head for Lex....you made that character so real, so human, and so badass. I know I have said all of this to you before...but man, I really am enjoying these episodes....so much so, it has been a huge inspiration for me. Thank you Michael, for being you, and kicking so much ass all the time!
Also....I am so with you on your situation with your pup....I too am facing a very difficult decision soon. I'm with oyu buddy.
YOU ARE A GREAT DOG DAD!!!! I know it's so stressful taking care of him, but you're there for him! You're a good dog dad. Irv loves you. 😪❤
Thanks for the encouraging words! Love ya - Rosey
Loved this episode Katie Cassidy is one of my favorite actress! Thanks for the continued awesome content
you rock! Thanks for supporting the show and tell your friends! -Rosey
Yes!!! Loved this weeks musical exit tune!! 🎶😀And another great podcast too, thanks for getting me through my working from home whilst still under lockdown in the UK!!
Omg tysm Michael For doing this Pod with the Lovely Katie. I screamed when I saw the notification
.
you rock! Thanks for supporting the show and tell your friends! -Rosey
This is a great podcast Michael. Recent subscriber. Sorry to hear about your dog.
Katie seems like a tough but vulnerable person. Interesting person.
Great interview with Katie. I've liked her since Supernatural. Nice work Rosey. Much love to you and Irv ❤️
Love this Podcast. You are a great host and actor. Thanks for all you do man!
you rock! Thanks for supporting the show. appreciate it! -Rosey
As always, looking forward to watching when I get a moment (ha!). You know I appreciate your interview style. I’m sure this one won’t disappoint either.
*edited to add I just listened to the intro. I feel for ya. I’ve had to put down 2 dogs (they were old and you’ll know when it’s time) and I have an elderly dog currently who’s 14-15 years old who we may have to make that decision soon. It’s never easy. ♥️*
Now back to listening to the rest of the podcast...
I was watching an episode of Bewitched (from the 60s) one day and her grand father was a guest star, and I couldn't believe how much she looks like him, especially the smile ! At first I was thinking where did I see that actor before? and then I remembered he was Jack Cassidy, I remembered him because of how much she looks like him, and then that he was in an episode of The Mary Tyler Moore Show as Ted Baxter's brother
I feel like you have to have her on again. She has stories!!!
I second
ABSOLUTELY!!! I really hope to hear more about her work on Arrow.
wow, she has a similar problem like me, when you start talking about one thing but then you forget what you started saying and jumble up the incoming thoughts so much that you dont remember what you meant to say.
19:01
"You could fuck! Er.. you can fuck off. Wait..."
⚰️. Great interview, Rosie and Katie.
Funny coincidence - I just finished watching Harper’s Island; she was great!
Love Katie in Harper's Island as Trish. As much as I do her in Supernateral as Ruby and especially as Both Laurels in Arrow.
Such a great show!
I really like all your posdcast! your stories at the start of your shows literally make us part of your daily life! thank you for your good work!
You Rule. -Rosey
Was so lovely hearing her stories she is so relatable and genuine 🥰
She is by far one of the most stunning women ever.
@@dm5432 what do you mean for her age!
S M lol she’s pretty then you bub.
Awesomeness, Love this show, I look forward all week to see which is the next epic episode. Thank you, Rosey!!
Thanks for coming back week after week! Appreciate ya! - Rosey
@@InsideOfYouPodcast Always oh Btw Great Music Video Man awesomeness is about time someone makes great music again. Thank you for sharing!!
Just found her in Eminem Just Lose It music video
One of the best birthday gift I could ask for
Happy Belated! Thanks for watching -Rosey
Love the podcast! I wish I found this channel sooner. Keep up the good work sir! 😁
Never too late! Just glad you found it! Thanks for watching! Spread the word! -Rosey
That was a great interview
Thanks! Spread the word! -Rosey
Rosenbaum dropping that truth bomb at 21:48 so damn relatable. That shit doesn't get aired out enough. Most of the time it's not you, it's always the others who hold grudges when you just wanna get past it all. Fantastic interview! Your podcasts are always the best to listen to! Katie is very fascinating, she's hilarious and deep, you really know how to bring out the best in introverts!
Another great episode hope everything is going well keep it up bro
New listener and I'm really enjoying your podcast and appreciate the guests you have on. I'm sure you know you're a great host and the dynamic you have w/guests is cool because it really does seem like you are good friends with them even if you might not know them that well. Been bingeing them on youtube for a couple weeks and I already got invested in Irv, too. I'm sorry you both are having a tough time. My last buddy who passed away hit me so hard I had to get a tattoo of him as tribute because he died young and I wasn't ready to let go yet. It's hard to see your friend suffer and I hope you and Irv find peace when it is time.
She seems like a strong and determined person. Great job on the questions as usual, Rosey. I hope the show continues to get bigger and bigger. It always helps me a lot, as someone who suffers from anxiety and panic, and is striving to be a better person. To be more positive and add good to life instead of negative.
Love you Katie, Big Fan, can't wait to see what you do next!
You're the man! I enjoy the shit out of all of these but Katie has been a crush for years. Great job Michael. And Katie if you read this, it's ok to seclude yourself. As an adult child of an alcoholic look up the invisible child trait. I retreat all of the time. Maintain your own peace. Fuck the haters. You're gorgeous and a great actor. Cheers 🍻🥂
BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!!
I HOPE YOU LIKED IT!!!! -Rosey
I just lost my 16 year old cat. I'm sorry, guys. It was the hardest couple of weeks at the end. I hear ya on both the dog and cat stories, and I hope you're all OK ❤ Pets are irreplaceable, but we will learn to love again!
Michael, tell Katie that I loved her even before this...but I respect her even more now. She is real! She is a light, her smile makes her a light to others knowing what she has been through; being bullied I know all too well. I was bullied through middle school and high school. I learned to laugh at the jokes those bullies would direct towards me and they then immediately asked me why I was laughing because of the fact they were making fun of me...I said because it was funny. You have to look at those kinds of things objectively and not let them get to you, because that is the end game of that bully, to make themselves feel better. I learned how to shrug off a bully and learned to laugh at myself. To this day, I enjoy making people smile and laugh even if it’s at my expense, because bringing someone laughter and a smile to brighten their day can make a difference in their life. My inspiration has come from Patch Adams. No matter if you are in a bad mood or you are going through something, allowing someone time by themselves is good, and in due time giving them a reason to smile is always a plus. Thanks for your stories, Katie. Be true to yourself.
Katie is a bit like me, always on the go. All ready a film maker, didn't realize WB had a training program for directing.
Do not blame her for privacy. A lot of family and relationship stuff has been dragged through the mud for years. She doesn't owe anyone a snippet of info.
This channel is about to hit 100k subs!! Well Deserved!! Love the podcast
We did it! Next stop 1 million! Spread the word! -Rosey
Great episode. I didn't realize she was in "Taken," but I wasn't following her when I saw it. Now, I have to watch it again.
Great interview as always, and congrats on 100K subscribers!
Thank you! Next stop 1 million! - Rosey
She is so beautiful 🥰
And she looks super ripped
I love your podcast, I don't watch it nearly enough. Hopefully gonna blow through a few of these while I'm packing today.
you rock! Thanks for supporting the show and tell your friends! -Rosey
@@InsideOfYouPodcast oh cool! Hi! I will 😊
(Ps. You should see if Ray Fisher and/or Joe Manganiello are available to come on the show 👀)
This podcast never disappoints!
Thanks! Spread the word! -Rosey
Been a HUGE Cassidy family fan for years (listened to Shaun’s record so much as a child that I broke it)..Know a lot about many of Katie’s family members but not about her. Seems like a sincere , intense and down to earth person. Looking forward to getting to know her better and to another in-depth and relatable episode.😊❤️
This was so fricken awesome! I hope, HOPE you have her on again. Maybe her and Steven?
Yes I second have Katie and Stephen return to your podcast
Yes please I want to see both of them on this podcast 👍👍👍
Thanks Rosey, Tuesdays are now a day I look forward to because of your podcast. Whenever you have to make the decision just know Irv will be in a better place. My sister just had to put her dog down, and it was tough but it took a weight off of her because it was stress taken off of BOTH her and the dog.
Love ya. -Rosey
Such an amazing and beautiful woman. Surely a gem. Keep creating, Katie. Stay weird. 😉
Katie is amazing maybe another one someday?
Insightful episode!!! Sorry to hear about your dog! One of the most emotionally draining things I ever had to do was dig a grave and bury the family dog. Dogs become more than pets! Your guest is great, I love a person who is a straight shooter and who is blunt and to the point. I am not an extrovert people person either, and can relate to her frustration with people and why they don't understand that there is nothing wrong with sitting alone or being by yourself. Other than not having any talent. The other reason I am glad that I am not famous is I couldn't deal with the crazy, insensitive and never ceasing demands of my time or attention. Ms. Cassidy indicated that she is empathic and can feel the emotions of others, and their effect on her isn't always positive and can be draining and soul crushing. She does what is best for her and people can suck it. I love it!!! Keep up the great work!!
Love the podcast!! Love your podcast and ur acting as flash (DCAU) and lex in Smallville, this show is my childhood 😂 stay on the grind and keep doing what you love!! Would love to see you as lex again in some capacity.
I am going through the same thing with my cat. He and I are very close, and it is so painful.
Hey Michael, I can totally relate as a pet parent right now because my pup is going through the same thing. My old pupper is 14 and he's got a degenerative disease where he's slowly losing sensation in his hind legs and will slowly become paralyzed. He's also had hìp dysplasia for a number or years however we've given him metacam and it's helped him a lot. The scaryist thing though was watching him go through two bad bouts of Old Dog syndrome (that's actually what it's called) which is like a mini stroke/ bad virtigo in dogs. It was really upsetting because he was too nauscious to eat and you know what they say about old dogs who won't eat. Especially considering food is his biggest joy in life. But also we could tell how confused and frustrated he was by the situation and we couldn't explain it to him. He eventually recovered from it but he suddenly began to develop the degenerative disease right after so it was a lot for us.
My old pupper is a 14 year old German Shepherd Husky mix and he's around 85 pounds so it was a lot to handle when his hind legs started to give out.
I want to offer you words of encouragement though: DON'T GIVE UP ON HIM!
It took a lot of work but my pupper is a stubborn fighter and we figured out what worked best.
For when your dog won't eat:
. Try a new kibble
. Try a new wet food
. Mix dry and wet food
. Mix water with dry kibble (sometimes it's hard for old dogs to swallow because it's too dry
. Hold up the bowl to their mouths at a tilted angle. This was the biggest help. I theorize that he couldn't clearly see the bowl because his head was spinning so I brought it right to his mouth and he didn't need to see it, he had the instincts
For when your dog develops a degenerative disease and their legs stop working and they become incontinent:
. Use a strap to hold up their hind end for walks and potty breaks. Be patient and don't always come to the rescue if their bum drops. Over time my pup's front legs became much much stronger and he could pull himself up. Sometimes he needed a little assistance and sometimes he did it all by himself
. If you doddle, you waddle. My pup loves to sniff on walks but sometimes he takes so long his legs give out. Just keep swimming
. If they have incontinence, consider doggie diapers or pee pads. Also, walk your dog on little walks throughout the day to get things moving. We discovered there is a definite correlation between his evening walk resulting in poop vs not walking him and finding poop in the morning
. If his mobility is extremely hindered consider a doggie wheelchair and a drag bag for indoors
. Give your pup's paws more traction indoors and outdoors by applying paw balm (old dog paws dry out). Also trim the fur between the toes (aka grinch toes). Invest in some good quality rubbery booties with traction. My pup started to drag his hind paws and his "knuckles" started to bleed and blister and the booties protect them now.
. Install ramps with traction outdoors and indoors if you can. It's made a major difference for my family because he can go up and down on his own! We built them with wood and put shingles on them for traction.
. Keep grit free floors
. Talk to your vet about pain management
. Give pain management and joint help food and treats
. Turmeric!
My dog has days where his mobility is heartbreaking but he also has days where he doesn't need assistance and I'm so proud of him!
If you give your pup methods to deal with his problems then they can overcome! They adapt. My dog has even been using his tail for better balance lately.
I had husky lived 16 years. Know what you're going through. Times I had to contemplate put him down. He died naturally. Sad you are going threw that.
