Arthritis advice

Almost 40% of cats and dogs have arthritis pain- but they aren't very good at telling us! 

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease that can be painful and affect all breeds.  There is no cure as such for arthritis, however there are many ways in which you can help manage this, allowing your pet to live a more comfortable life. This can be from weight and exercise management through to medications prescribed by your Vet.

Cat Resting
Let's check your cat for signs of arthritis pain

Cats usually love to jump, climb and pounce. But maybe you’ve noticed that your cat has become less adventurous. If your cat is spending more time resting or sleeping, or if they're playing less than they used to, it's not necessarily because they're getting older. This change in behaviour may be a sign that you need to take them to the vet.
