May is arthritis awareness month. Arthritis is painful, debilitating, and common in cats and dogs.
💚 There are ways we can help pets early in their lives to help reduce the risk of development and reduce the severity of disease including regulating nutrition and exercise.
💚 There are effective treatment options that significantly reduce pain and increase mobility including medications and laser therapy.
💚 And of course, there are ways to make your pets more comfortable at home.
💚 If you'd like to talk to us about your pet's joint health, whether it's assessing risk or reducing pain, give us a call (505) 299-9533.
