Osteoarthritis Clinic

These clinics are aimed at the lovely older generation of pets or for pets with early onset osteoarthritis from injury or joint disease. Osteoarthritis is inevitable in all older pets, with some finding it more difficult to cope with than others. Our aim is to give them the best quality of life possible using a collaborative approach. Therefore, these nurse clinics are often run alongside medical interventions carried out by our vets. We aim to give you pointers and adjustments to your pet’s lifestyle and home in order to reduce their discomfort levels.  

How can it help?

Some very simple adjustments around the home, or slight changes to your routine can make a huge difference to pets suffering with this condition. The nurses will use a questionnaire and discussion to understand your pet’s lifestyle and home as best as possible before giving any advice. It can help by reducing a pet’s discomfort levels and aiding in their mobility. Pets that feel physically unstable tend to become anxious, so you may find they become less anxious with some little adjustments.
