Dog Osteoarthritis (OA): Recognizing the signs!

At Imperial Animal Hospital, we understand the special bond you share with your beloved pets. We wanted to highlight a common condition that affects many dogs: Canine Osteoarthritis (OA)!

Canine Osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative joint disease that can cause pain and discomfort to our canine friends, particularly as they age! Some common symptoms include; Limping, difficulty getting up, reluctant to jump/play, changes in behavior, and more!

As your trusted veterinary hospital, we are committed to supporting you and your canine companion therefore we are excited to introduce a new antibody therapy to help control OA-related pain! “Librela” is a monthly therapy injection that offers long-lasting pain relief and helps maintain your dog’s well being. It has been approved as safe and effective to help increase your pet’s activity and improve their quality of life!
