Bones, Muscles, and Joints

  Keep your pet moving and grooving this spring!

Musculoskeletal diseases (conditions that involve bones, muscles, and joints) affect pets of all ages. They can have aches and pains like we do. But sometimes these diseases are hard to spot. Think about your furry friend for a moment...

Has he stopped jumping on you when you come in the door?

Has he stopped perching on the window sill?

Is he simply acting “old”?

These changes in activity may be due to weather, age, or good training. However, to guarantee your pet is at his best, we have to rule out any hidden musculoskeletal problems. Infections, hormonal imbalances, poor nutrition, blood disorders, and arthritis can all affect your pet's activity—the way he plays, moves, eats, and cuddles.

The good news is that we have ways to prevent, cure, or manage these conditions, so your pet can continue to have a good quality of life. We are committed to the well-being of your pet for his lifetime. The best way to ensure his health is to come on in for his yearly checkup today. Together, we’ll keep your pet’s bones, muscles, and joints (and all the rest of him!) in good working order.
