Aging With Comfort and Grace

As the years pass, our cherished furry companions, like us, face the challenges of aging. One common challenge cats and dogs suffer from is pet arthritis. At Dent County Veterinary Clinic, we are passionate about managing this condition to restore your pet’s comfort, vitality, and zest for life.

Pet arthritis can significantly impact your pet’s quality of life. This condition affects their daily well-being, making tasks like walking, climbing, and even simple, playful jumps increasingly difficult. Reduced mobility can lead to less physical activity, paving the way for weight gain and the risks associated with obesity.

If necessary, we offer safe and effective pain medications to ensure your pet remains comfortable.

Dietary Changes

With mobility challenges comes the need for a balanced diet to manage weight and ensure optimal joint health.
