Actively manage Arthritis
- free arthritis checks with participating vets.

This September, Canine Arthritis Awareness Month will again be raising the profile of this debilitating disease.

This year participating vets are supporting the campaign even more intensively by offering free arthritis checks. Dog owners can also benefit from a £5 voucher off the cost of treatment if their dog receives a new diagnosis of arthritis, so it really is worth having your pets or working dogs checked out.

So whether your dog is just slowing up, becoming more of a couch potato or just seems to be a lazybones, have him checked out. Arthritis is painful and progressive loss of mobility will surely follow without treatment.

For those dogs who receive treatment the outlook’s rosy – palatable tablets are easy to give, day after day and dogs that get treatment early will do best in the long term.

Visit www.dogarthritischeck.com for more information,
or ask your vet if they are participating in Canine Arthritis Awareness Month.
