Canine Joint Health

Mobility can make life remarkable.

Mobility is key to a healthy quality of life for dogs. Understanding canine osteoarthritis (also known as degenerative joint disease or DJD) and the benefits of early detection and treatment can help dogs enjoy more years of everyday adventures with their families – from jumping in the car for a ride, running a trail at the dog park or simply walking up the stairs.

What is canine osteoarthritis (OA)?

Canine osteoarthritis or DJD is the most common cause of chronic pain in dogs.1 This painful disease is caused by deterioration of joint cartilage, surrounding tissue and fluid.1 Over time, this can lead to bone-on-bone contact, chronic inflammation, swelling — and a very uncomfortable life for a dog.1
