October is Bone and Joint Health Awareness Month.

Just like us, our pets can experience joint stiffness, arthritis, and mobility challenges as they get older. At Friars Moor Vets, we’re here to support your dogs in staying active, comfortable, and happy.

If you’ve noticed any of these changes in your furry friend, talk to our team about how therapy could help: Slowing down on walks, Difficulty jumping or climbing stairs, Stiffness after rest or Reluctance to play.

Keeping joints healthy means keeping tails wagging!
