Any medication or supplements your dog is taking for joint pain

As there is no cure for arthritis, it’s important to regularly talk through your dog’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 dog’s quality of life.

How often do you visit your vet?
