We know it’s not always easy for pet owners to recognize the symptoms of arthritis. Why? It goes back to when our dogs’ ancestors would not tolerate signs of vulnerability in pack members. Dogs react in different ways to pain depending on various factors, including their age and overall health, as well as their breed.

What are the warning signs of arthritis?

Most often, you’ll notice changes in your dog’s behavior that can indicate that something is wrong: Lethargy Stiffness Limping after prolonged inactivity or after exertion Reluctance to move Aggressive or defensive reactions to touch Barking or whining without apparent cause Seeking out solitude Signs of arthritis in dogs vary according to the severity of the disease. If, however, you notice several of the above symptoms in your dog, please see your veterinarian.

In treating arthritis, our goal is to reduce or suppress the symptoms: By reducing pain and inflammation By slowing the progress of arthritis in dogs By facilitating the regeneration of damaged tissue By improving and maintaining joint function There is no cure for arthritis. Fortunately, there is an effective preventative and symptomatic treatment that focuses on reducing pain and inflammation, slowing the progression of the disease, regenerating damaged tissue, and improving and maintaining joint function.

Influence of condition on arthrosis ...

Keep your dog in good condition – Do not overfeed your dog, but rather serve your dog nutritious food. Just as in humans, a balanced diet is essential to help maintain optimal weight. Diet and nutrition are particularly important in young dogs. Canine obesity is the most common cause of disease resulting in overstressed joints. Simply reducing your dog‘s weight by 10 % will result in an overall improvement in health.

Your veterinarian can recommend the most suitable diet/food for your dog’s particular needs A proper diet and dietary supplements act preventively together - We don’t recommend a calorie-rich diet or a diet with high levels of calcium (or supplements that contain it). Divide your dog’s daily ration into smaller portions served several times a day.

Regular exercise and an active life are essential – When your dog moves, blood circulates through the tissues, supplying nutrients and removing metabolites, thus ensuring the best conditions for regeneration. Short periods of aerobic movement more often throughout the day are ideal. The best activity, especially for dogs with more advanced arthritis and older dogs, is playing in the water or swimming. This helps with weight reduction while building muscle and taking pressure off affected joints. Hydrotherapy is also useful in the advanced stages of arthritis and with older dogs.
