Fear Free Pets

Osteoarthritis insidiously, quietly, and progressively robs dogs of their quality of life. Think about it: People with OA don't go to their doctor complaining of "lameness" - they complain that they're in pain.

Palmer, DVM, MS, DACVS, explains that early diagnosis and an exam that "tells you where it hurts" are the keys to successful treatment. Brought to you by Zoetis Petcare.
