Arthritis in Dogs & Cats

Arthritis in Dogs & Cats

Just like our joints wear and tear with age, so do those of our beloved pets. Arthritis in dogs & cats is a common condition that affects middle aged and senior pets, and it can negatively affect their life. Also known as degenerative joint disease, it occurs when a joint is unstable and causes the bones to move abnormally. Cartilages usually act as a barrier between bones, but when they erode with age, the bones begin to rub against each other, causing chronic pain and inflammation.

Signs of Arthritis in Dogs & Cats

The first and most obvious sign is a pet that is limping. But there are other indicators too, for example a dog that doesn’t charge up the stairs like it used to back in the days or a dog that takes longer to recover after play time. Also, if your dog used to be very active and follow you everywhere around the house, but now it is just staying in one place; this can also be a sign of mobility problems.

Arthritis in Dogs & Cats

Cats are not that active, so their signs of arthritis might be different. For example, cats may urinate or defecate outside of the litter box, because it’s too painful for them to jump into it. If you see your kitty grooming excessively in one area, that might also indicate chronic joint pain.

The bottom line is that if you notice any unusual behaviour in your pet, it’s time to consult with your veterinarian. Besides a treatment that he might give you, he will also recommend changing your pet’s diet in order to improve the health of joints and bones, reduce pain and inflammation. Here are some of the delicious treats that we have and who might help a lot:
