Animal Therapy: How to Help Your Pet’s Arthritis

Animal Therapy: How to Help Your Pet’s Arthritis

Posted by Gary Richter, MS, DVM

How to Help Your Animal Using Arthritic Therapy from Holistic Veterinary Care, Oakland California

Oh, the joy of having pets!! Imagine coming home after work to see your pooch running to you with a lot of excitement. Or looking forward to coming home after a long day to snuggle up with your kitty cat. Whatever your reasons may be, you love your pets and want to see them happy, healthy and full of life! Can you agree?

Unfortunately, some of the most difficult moments in life are when we see our pets in pain and can’t figure out what type of animal therapy they need. For example, with time, your furry canine may no longer run to you the way he used to and your loving cat has put on some extra weight because moving has become more difficult.

So, what could be the problem?

Arthritis, which can sneak up on middle-aged dogs and cats!

Symptoms of Dog Arthritis
Difficulty sitting, standing, moving
Sleeping more than usual
Stiff and sore joints
Less activity/inactive (doesn’t run or play as usual)
Weight gain
Behavioral changes
Symptoms of Cat Arthritis
Anxious and restless
Sleeping more than usual
Less active
Urinating/defecating outside of the litter box
Weight gain
Behavioral changes

Now, before we go any further, let’s not jump to conclusions and assume that if your pet exhibits any of the signs above, he or she has arthritis and needs animal therapy. Always take your pet to a veterinary hospital, such as Holistic Veterinary Care in Oakland California in order to get an accurate diagnosis.

Also, do not diagnose your pet yourself by reading information online! We know, it’s tempting, even with this article, yet the information online is only meant to offer insight, yet a real veterinarian is your go-to person for your animal therapy and diagnosis.

One recommended animal therapy for arthritis that is holistic and a natural home treatment, which can help ease your pet’s pain from aching joints is to do the following:

Arf-ritis Pain Relief

  1. Take a breath
  2. Know that there are animal therapy methods to truly help your pet (and you’re about to find out how)
  3. Smile

At Holistic Vet Care, Dr. Richter recommends Arf-ritis Pain Relief (1 oz).

It’s magic in a bottle and here is what our very own Dr. Richter of Holistic Veterinary Care has to say about Arf-ritis Pain Relief:

“Arf-ritis and other natural products can be excellent alternatives for prescription anti-inflammatory medications. In many cases, they can also be used in conjunction with other pain medications with great results.” – Dr. Richter

Allow your pet to enjoy their life again with the right animal therapy!

How Does The Arf-ritis Pain Relief Work?

Using this animal therapy, gently massage the oil on to your pet’s body twice a day. Your pet will absolutely love it and he/she may even think you have magical hands. Don’t worry, we won’t tell your furry friend your little secret, our lips are sealed!

Arthritis is a serious problem for both humans and animals, yet there is always something you can do and Arf-ritis Pain Relief can definitely help!

Click here to see how Arf-ritis Pain Relief can be the right animal therapy and alleviate your pet’s pain.
