You may not recognise the signs of early Degenerative Joint Disease or Osteoarthritis in your pet or you may accept changes because slowing down is just part of ageing. Whilst old age is not a disease – osteoarthritis is!

Signs of pain and discomfort may be any of the following:

• Less playful, lost enthusiasm for walks, lost energy
• Hesitant to jump for example into or out of the car/sofa
• Still when getting up, slower to rise
• Postural changes, sitting with a leg out to the side
• Limping – more in dogs
• Not grooming themselves well
• Inappropriate toileting
• Being grumpy! Growl or snap on handling
