Is Your Doodle Limping? It Might Be Growing Pains.
If your playful pup suddenly seems sore or limps from one leg to another, it could be Panosteitis—often called “growing pains.” This common, temporary condition affects large-breed puppies like Goldendoodles and Golden Mountain Doodles during rapid growth. While it can look scary, Panosteitis usually resolves on its own with rest and proper care. At Stokeshire, we’re here to help you support your growing pup every step of the way.
Looking for a Doodle without the fluff? At Stokeshire Designer Doodles, we offer unfurnished Doodles—intelligent, low-shedding companions with a sleek, Retriever- or Aussie-like appearance. These low-maintenance pups are perfect for active families who want the Doodle temperament without the grooming demands.
