Arthritis Treatment

Arthritis is a common joint condition in animals, especially in aging dogs and cats. This degenerative disease causes pain, stiffness, and a decrease in mobility, which can affect your pet's quality of life. Fortunately, several treatments are available to relieve discomfort and improve well-being.

What treatments are available to relieve arthritis in animals?

A combined approach is often recommended, including anti-inflammatory and analgesic medications, joint supplements such as glucosamine and chondroitin, as well as non-invasive treatments like laser therapy, which is effective in reducing inflammation and stimulating tissue regeneration.

How can I adapt my pet's environment to relieve arthritis?

It is important to adjust your pet’s space to minimize joint pain. Using orthopedic beds, ramps to avoid jumping, and installing non-slip surfaces can significantly improve comfort. Additionally, moderate and appropriate exercise, such as gentle walking, can help maintain good mobility.

In addition to medical treatments, you can contribute to their well-being by managing their weight to reduce pressure on the joints, providing a suitable diet, and maintaining a routine of gentle exercises. A consultation with your veterinarian will help create a personalized treatment plan to optimize their quality of life.
