Scott and Pacer’s Story

Scott is a retired police officer whose loyal companion, Pacer, spent his own career as a working police dog. Transitioning from active service to home life, when at the same time being diagnosed with arthritis, was quite an adjustment for Pacer.

Tamara and Raffie’s Story

When Tamara adopted Raffie from Bahrain, she quickly noticed he was limping. A visit to the vet revealed that Raffie has osteoarthritis. With helpful guidance and ongoing support from their vet, Tamara has implemented small changes to make Raffie’s life more comfortable. Raffie continues to enjoy his life to the fullest.

What is a multi-pronged treatment plan for arthritis?

Just as Tamara and Scott have learned, it’s really important to work with your vet on a multi-pronged treatment plan if your dog has an arthritis diagnosis.

This is a holistic approach, where pain management, controlled exercise, weight optimisation and an appropriate diet, are combined to maintain the best quality of life for your dog.
