💬 Arthritis Management: FAQs 💬

We often hear these questions from pet owners:

❓ Can arthritis be cured?
Unfortunately, arthritis cannot be cured; however, it can often be managed very successfully with regular visits and finding a routine that works for you and your pet.

❓ How do I know if my pet is in pain?
Look for signs such as stiffness, reluctance to jump, changes in activity levels, altered behaviour, or difficulty getting up. (Check out our previous posts this month! 😛)

❓ Will my pet need medication forever?
Every pet is different. Treatment plans are tailored to each individual’s needs and may change over time. Ultimately, it is highly likely your fur baby will require life long management; we will be with you every step of the way to support you in this 💜

❓ Can weight affect arthritis?
Absolutely. Maintaining a healthy weight is one of the most effective ways to reduce stress on joints. Give us a call for free advice based on your pets personal circumstances. Alternatively, have a chat with one of our vets at your pets next health check 💜

❓ When should I see a vet?
As soon as you notice changes in mobility or behaviour. You know your pet best, if you think they are exhibiting signs, they probably are! We want to help both you and your pet. Our vets can can provide a tailored and evidence-based management plan for your pets specific needs.

❓ Myth Busting: Arthritis in Pets

There are many misconceptions about arthritis that can delay diagnosis and treatment.

❌ Myth: “They’re just slowing down because they’re old.”
✅ Reality: Slowing down can be a sign of pain and reduced mobility.

❌ Myth: “Nothing can be done.”
✅ Reality: There are many treatment options available to help manage arthritis and improve quality of life.

❌ Myth: “My pet isn’t limping, so they can’t have arthritis.”
✅ Reality: Many pets show subtle signs such as difficulty jumping, stiffness after rest, or changes in behaviour.

❌ Myth: “Exercise makes arthritis worse.”
✅ Reality: Appropriate exercise is often an important part of arthritis management.

The earlier arthritis is identified, the more options we have to help keep pets comfortable and active.

If you’ve noticed changes in your pet’s mobility, book a check-up with our team.

🌟 Staff Spotlight: Supporting Mobility Through Rehabilitation 🌟

Did you know that physiotherapy and rehabilitation can play an important role in managing arthritis and mobility issues?

Rehabilitation techniques may include:
🐾 Controlled exercise programs
🐾 Mobility assessments
🐾 Muscle strengthening exercises
🐾 Weight management support
🐾 Environmental modifications at home
🐾 Referrals for specialised therapies when appropriate

Arthritis management isn’t just about medication—it’s about supporting your pet’s entire lifestyle to help them stay comfortable and active.

🐾 Easy Ways to Support Arthritic Pets 🐾

As our pets age, simple changes around the home can make a huge difference to their comfort and confidence.

Many pets quietly adapt to discomfort, so making these small adjustments can help improve their quality of life and keep them active for longer. 🎾

🐾 Arthritis & Exercise: Finding the Balance 🐾

When pets develop arthritis, it can be tempting to reduce their activity completely. However, regular, gentle exercise is one of the best ways to help maintain joint mobility, muscle strength, and overall wellbeing.

✅ Short, frequent walks are often better than one long walk.
✅ Allow your pet to set the pace and take breaks when needed.
✅ Swimming and hydrotherapy can provide excellent low-impact exercise for some dogs.
✅ Avoid high-impact activities such as jumping, chasing balls repeatedly, or running on slippery surfaces.
✅ Keep exercise consistent rather than doing lots on some days and very little on others.

Watch for signs that your pet may have overdone it, such as increased stiffness, limping, reluctance to move, or excessive tiredness later in the day.

Every pet is different, and the best exercise plan will depend on their age, condition, and overall health. If you’re unsure what’s appropriate for your furry friend, our team is happy to help.

🐾 Nutrition for Joint Health 🐾

We’ve spoken about this briefly last month, but we strongly believe it’s worth mentioning again!
Maintaining a healthy weight is one of the most effective ways to reduce stress on your pet’s joints.

Certain nutrients may also support joint function, including:

🐟 Omega-3 fatty acids
🦴 Glucosamine
🦴 Chondroitin
💚 Green-lipped mussel extracts
✨ Joint-support diets recommended by your veterinarian

Every pet is different, so it’s important to discuss supplements with your veterinary team before starting them.

A balanced diet combined with appropriate exercise and veterinary care can help support long-term mobility.

Not sure if your pet’s diet is meeting their needs? Ask us at your next visit!
Alternatively, give us a call and speak to one of our nurses who can help guide you in choosing a suitable diet 🩺

🐾Importance of Early Detection & Check Ups 🐾

Early detection can make a huge difference when it comes to arthritis.
The sooner joint changes are identified, the sooner we can develop a management plan to help keep your pet comfortable and active.

Regular health checks allow us to:
✔ Assess mobility and gait
✔ Check for signs of pain or stiffness
✔ Monitor weight and body condition
✔ Discuss treatment and management options
✔ Identify issues before they progress

Many pets show very subtle signs long before arthritis becomes obvious.

If your pet is slowing down, hesitating on stairs, or not enjoying activities they once loved, it may be worth scheduling a check-up.

A simple assessment today could help improve their comfort for years to come. Give us a call or book online!

🐾 June is Arthritis & Joint Health Awareness Month 🐾

As our pets age, changes in their joints can affect their comfort, mobility and quality of life.

Did you know that arthritis is one of the most common chronic conditions seen in older dogs and cats? The challenge is that many pets are very good at hiding pain, meaning the signs can be easy to miss.

Some signs to watch for include:

🐶 Difficulty getting up after resting
🐱 Reluctance to jump onto furniture
🐾 Stiffness, especially in the morning
🐾 Slower walks or reduced activity
🐾 Difficulty climbing stairs
🐾 Changes in behaviour or mood
🐾 Limping or favouring a leg
🐾 Increased sleeping or resting

Many owners assume these changes are simply “old age”, but they may actually be signs of discomfort that can be managed.

Throughout June we’ll be sharing tips on recognising arthritis, supporting joint health, and helping your pet stay comfortable and active.

If you’ve noticed any of these signs in your pet, we’d love to help.
