Many people expect arthritis to cause an obvious limp, but that's not always the case.
Sometimes the first signs are surprisingly subtle. Your dog may hesitate before jumping into the car. Your cat may stop climbing to a favorite windowsill. They may sleep more, avoid stairs, or simply seem less interested in activities they once enjoyed.
These changes are often mistaken for "just getting older," but pain is never something pets should simply live with. There are many options available to help improve comfort and mobility.
If you've noticed changes in your pet's movement, we'd love to help.
