Keep reading to learn about pet joint care and how you can help your pet.<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<h3><b>Orthopedic Problems in Pets<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are several common problems that can impede a pet\u2019s ability to get around comfortably and effectively. Some are acquired, or develop, over a pet\u2019s lifetime, while others are something a pet is born with. A few of the more common pet joint problems that we see include:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b>Osteoarthritis<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.summeridgeanimalclinic.com\/blog\/arthritis-senior-pet-part-1\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Arthritis in pets<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is the deterioration of a joint due to normal wear and tear, unnatural forces, or even injury. Many pets develop arthritis as they age, resulting in painful inflammation of the joint. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b>Dysplasia<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Malformations of joints such as the hips or elbows are frequently seen, especially in certain breeds. <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b>Traumatic injuries <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2013 Broken bones, dislocated joints, or soft tissue injuries can result in long term orthopedic problems.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><b>Patellar luxation<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \u2013 Some pets, particularly smaller breeds, suffer from a knee cap that pops out of place. This can cause intermittent lameness, discomfort, and hastened development of arthritis in the joint. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Preventative Pet Joint Care <\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As pet owners, there are certainly some things that we can do to lessen the chances of our pets having joint problems. Increase your pet\u2019s long term mobility by:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Helping your pet maintain a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.petobesityprevention.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">healthy weight<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Feeding a good quality diet<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Following our feeding recommendations for puppies, especially large breed dogs<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Limiting high impact activities for young animals under a year of age<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using recommended joint supplements as a preventative measure<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Encouraging appropriate exercise activities<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Pet joint care is an important part in keeping our four legged friends happy and active throughout their lifetimes.
