🐾 Let’s Talk About Canine Osteoarthritis 🐾
🦴 Is your dog slowing down?
It might not just be age - it could be osteoarthritis.
🩺 What is osteoarthritis (OA)?
OA is a painful, long-term joint condition that causes inflammation and stiffness - especially in hips, elbows, knees, and spine.
🐾 Signs your dog may have arthritis:
• Slowing down on walks
• Hesitating on stairs or jumping into the car
• Stiffness after resting
• Struggling to get up
• Less interest in play
💚 It’s manageable!
While arthritis can’t be cured, the right care can make a world of difference.
Your vet can help with:
✅ Weight management
✅ Joint supplements & prescription diets
✅ Pain relief, anti-inflammatories, Disease modifying injectables
✅ Gentle exercise plans
🩺 Early action = better comfort.
The sooner arthritis is recognised and managed, the more mobile and happy your dog can stay.
