If your cat has been injured

Any injury or dislocation affecting your cat’s joints can increase their risk of developing arthritis.

Your cat’s diet

It’s important your cat has a healthy diet so that they maintain an optimum weight. Being overweight can put extra pressure on joints which can lead to arthritis and being underweight can also lead to problems.

Any medication or supplements your cat is taking for joint pain

As there is no cure for arthritis, it’s important to regularly talk through your cat’s pain management plan with your vet. With advancing medical treatments and other environmental changes you can make, your vet will advise on how you can maximise your cat’s quality of life.

How often do you visit your vet?

Do you book regular check-ups for your cat?  Even if they seem fine, having a vet examine them at least once a year will give you peace of mind that they’re disease-free and living their best lives.
