It's never easy seeing your once-energetic dog slow down. Helping them feel comfortable is a top priority. But before you can make a plan to help your pup, it's important to identify the problem.
Arthritis is a progressive and painful joint condition that's estimated to affect 2 out of every 5 dogs. It causes inflammation, pain, stiffness and other uncomfortable symptoms that can negatively impact your dog's quality of life. But why is it important to recognise arthritis early, and what are the signs to watch out for?
If you've got a sick dog, your first thought is to call your vet for advice. You'll probably need to take a trip to the practice for them to be seen, and it's greatly reassuring when they've had the once-over and the best care to aid their quick recovery.
If you're the pet parent of a senior dog, you may have noticed them starting to slow down. Whether it's a reluctance to go for walks or a loss of interest in play, these types of changes can be cause for concern. But is your dog just slowing down as they age, or is arthritis pain to blame?
Have you been wondering: why is my dog scratching so much? Do they seem to be itchy all the time? Maybe you’re starting to wonder – or worry – about what could be behind this behaviour? And you’re just getting concerned that it might be causing them discomfort…
We cover all kinds of cat healthcare topics, like arthritis in cats. So if your cat isn’t as sprightly as they used to be, this could mean something is wrong – check out our online assessment, resources and articles to learn more.
Worried that your cat may be suffering from arthritis? You're not alone. This progressive joint condition is common in cats, especially as they age. But before you take your feline friend for a check-up, it's important to be prepared.
Every cat parent enjoys the playful behaviour of their feline friend during their younger years. But as time goes on, it's natural to notice some changes. Maybe your once-lively cat now prefers long naps in the sun, or perhaps they don't chase after toys like they used to.
As a loving cat parent, you want to do everything you can to keep your feline friend happy and healthy. Managing your cat’s weight is one of the most important things you can do for their overall health.
Vets often recommend that cats have an annual check-up, and more often if they are elderly or suffer from a long-term health condition.
Getting your cat into its carrier and safely to the vets is often a stressful experience for both you and your cat. However, regular check-ups are important to make sure they stay fit and healthy, and they may have to visit the vets more frequently due to illness. So, how can you try to make it a more positive experience for all involved?
