Help Your Pet Live Pain-Free
Arthritis Care at Dunedin Animal Medical Center
Is your dog slowing down, reluctant to climb stairs, or no longer excited for walks? These may be signs of arthritis—a common condition in aging pets that can drastically affect their quality of life. At Dunedin Animal Medical Center, we specialize in diagnosing and treating arthritis so your pet can feel comfortable, active, and happy again.
Understanding Arthritis in Pets
Arthritis is a degenerative joint disease that causes inflammation, stiffness, and chronic pain—most often in older pets, but it can occur at any age. The condition tends to worsen over time, especially without proper treatment.
Common signs of arthritis in pets include:
- Limping or favoring a limb
- Difficulty getting up or lying down
- Hesitation to jump or climb stairs
- Decreased activity or interest in play
-
Behavioral changes such as irritability or withdrawal
Advanced Arthritis Treatment with Librela
One of the most promising new treatments for canine arthritis is Librela—a monthly injection that targets the pain of osteoarthritis at the source. Librela uses monoclonal antibody therapy, which works differently than traditional pain medications. It provides long-lasting relief without the need for daily pills, and is especially helpful for dogs who can’t tolerate NSAIDs.
At DAMC, we’ve seen remarkable improvements in our arthritis patients after starting Librela:
-
Increased mobility
-
Reduced stiffness
-
Happier, more active dogs
If your dog is living with arthritis, talk to our veterinary team about whether Librela might be the right solution.
