Canine Arthritis Pain

About Canine Osteoarthritis

This condition is referred to as canine osteoarthritis, or just OA. This condition is very common. In fact, roughly 25% of all adult dogs in the US have OA, or about 1 in 4.

If OA isn’t treated effectively, it can cause your dog pain. Injury, malformation of the joint, previous trauma and/or surgery are causes for OA which results in inflammation in the joint and this inflammation causes constant pain. This pain can significantly affect your dog’s quality of life, resulting in:

Difficulty going up and down stairs
Struggling to get up after lying down
Trouble walking on slick floors
Problems hopping in and out of vehicles
Slowing down on walks
Behavioral changes (e.g., aggression, difficulty squatting to toilet)

Canine Arthritis Management

Ways We Can Help Your Pet Keep Their Paws In Motion:

Synovetin OA® (Joint injection)

Synovetin OA® is a targeted, non-surgical treatment for dogs with osteoarthritis that helps reduce joint pain at its source. It is injected directly into the affected joint, where it is taken up by the inflamed joint lining and helps decrease the abnormal pain-producing inflammation associated with arthritis. This can lead to significant and long-lasting pain relief, at least 12 months after a single injection. Synovetin OA® allows many dogs to remain active and comfortable while reducing reliance on daily pain medications. When paired with rehabilitation therapy, it can help dogs move more easily, rebuild strength, and maintain a better quality of life.

Platelet Rich Plasma (Joint Injection)

Injects proteins and anti-inflammatory components of the patient’s blood that can modulate the inflammatory process in a joint. It can decrease the amount of inflammation as well as aid in more blood flow to the joint.

A series of injections is usually needed in severe arthritis (2-3 injections per joint spaced every 2-3 weeks). Mild cases of arthritis can see results after one injection. Patients can see relief for close to 3-6 months.

ArthramidVet® (Joint injection)

ArthramidVet® is a non-drug, injectable treatment designed to help dogs with osteoarthritis move more comfortably. It is a biocompatible hydrogel that is injected directly into the affected joint, where it integrates with the joint lining to improve cushioning and joint function. Many dogs experience reduced pain and stiffness with improved mobility that can last for at least 12 months. ArthramidVet® does not contain steroids or NSAIDs, making it a good option for dogs that cannot tolerate long-term medications. When combined with a structured rehabilitation program, it can help support safer movement, improved strength, and a better quality of life for dogs with arthritis.

Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (Non-Invasive Soundwave Therapy)

Shockwave therapy for dogs involves using acoustic waves to stimulate healing in tissues. It promotes blood flow, reduces inflammation, and accelerates the natural healing process.

The benefits include:
