If your dog has been injured
Any injury or dislocation affecting your dog’s joints can increase their risk of developing arthritis
Your dog’s diet
It’s important your dog has a healthy diet so that they maintain an optimum weight. Being overweight can put extra pressure on joints which can lead to arthritis
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?
Do you book regular check-ups for your dog? 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.
