ARTHRITIS TIPS AND ADVICE
Frequently asked questions
Osteoarthritis is a condition that leads to pain and progressive degeneration of the joint1. It affects many aspects of a dog’s life, including limited mobility, painful joints, and a poor quality of life. Signs can often be subtle, and dogs will rarely yelp, cry, or vocalise the pain they are experiencing. It is therefore important to look out for signs like limping, slowing down on walks, being slow to rise, and having difficulty jumping.
