Hot climate and joint stiffness is an interesting combination — cold exacerbates arthritis, which means dogs in hot climates are often protected outdoors but then stiff after time in heavily air-conditioned interiors. Is that the pattern you're seeing, or is the stiffness present regardless of temperature?
Exactly that. She's fine after outdoor walks early morning, but after a few hours indoors in the AC she stiffens badly. It's particularly noticeable in the evenings.

That's a classic AC-stiffness pattern — the cold air cools the joints while she's resting and the synovial fluid becomes more viscous. Two things to address in parallel: start her on YuMOVE Senior for the underlying joint support, and manage the AC temperature at floor level where she rests. Dogs lie on the floor and cold air sinks — her joints are experiencing lower temperatures than the room thermostat shows. A padded orthopaedic mat with a thin blanket available overnight addresses the temperature part while the supplement works on the inflammation and lubrication side.
