Facts about osteoarthritis in dogs

Osteoarthritis is an inflammation of the joint often caused by wear and tear. It may also result from injury. Like humans suffering from arthritis, arthritic dogs experience swelling, pain and stiffness. If your dog has osteoarthritis you will notice changes in behaviour. Your dog may limp, struggle to get up, no longer run, play or jump into the car without difficulty.

• 1 in 5 dogs suffer from arthritis
• It is a constantly painful, debilitating disease of the joints
• There has been no cure to date for arthritis in dogs, only maintenance options, e.g. drugs and dietary supplements for arthritis
• Osteoarthritis affects any age group, but mainly older dogs:
  
  
  • Primary osteoarthritis
    Mainly wear and tear in older dogs
    Not usually associated with other dog health problems
     
  • Secondary osteoarthritis
    Result of an illness or injury
