TL;DR: Relieving Joint Pain: Arthritis is incredibly common but highly manageable. If your pet is limping, stiff in the mornings, or slow to rise, we can help. Contact us to restore their comfort.

Osteoarthritis is one of the leading causes of chronic pain in older dogs and cats across Australia. Because our pets are naturally programmed to hide pain, it takes a keen eye to spot when joint inflammation is impacting their daily happiness.

Signs of arthritis

• Stiffness when rising after sleeping or resting.

• Reluctance to leap, jump, or climb stairs.

• Limping or altered posture.

• Behavioural irritability when touched near hips or legs.
