Arthritis Care
Arthritis (osteoarthritis) is a complex, progressive disease. It causes a degeneration of structures within normal joints, resulting in pain and reduced mobility. As a result, the muscles surrounding the joint become weak and your companion will have to compensate elsewhere. Did you know, arthritis affects 80% of dogs over the age of 8 years old?
