Nearly 40% of all cats and dogs are affected by osteoarthritis (OA) pain.1 With all the advances in veterinary medicine, pain is something to be proactively controlled, not lived with. We don’t want you led astray, so let’s dig in!
The Lowdown on Pain
Managing Chronic Pain
Pain from an injury is usually short-lived and meant to let your pet know that something’s wrong. However, OA pain lasts a long time and will continue to get worse without treatment.
Don’t Be Okay with OA
When we talk about chronic pain, we’re mainly focused on osteoarthritis (OA). For pets suffering with OA, pain signals start in the joint then travel beyond the inflamed area, impacting their overall health and well-being.
Read Between the Lines
Cats and dogs are masters at hiding their pain. If you can easily see their discomfort, chances are they’re in a lot more pain than they’re letting on.
Pain Points
Since no two pets are the same, it’s helpful to know a bit more about how pain affects your pet.
A Simple Solution
The good news is we have safe and effective medications to help get your pet’s OA pain under control.
