Just like us, pets can develop arthritis as they age especially dogs and cats who’ve had previous injuries, joint issues, or simply love to be active. While arthritis is common, it doesn’t mean your pet has to suffer in silence.
At Nowra Veterinary Hospital and Bay & Basin Animal Hospital, we offer a wide range of arthritis treatments and management strategies to help your pet stay pain-free and enjoy life for as long as possible.
Arthritis is inflammation and degeneration of the joints, most often caused by wear and tear over time. It’s more common in older pets, but can also occur in younger animals after injury or surgery.

We’ll work with you to create a customised arthritis plan that suits both your pet’s needs and your lifestyle.
One of the most common reasons pets come in for arthritis treatment is because owners see the benefit quickly. Pets often show noticeable improvements within weeks of starting injections or diets, which is why these services are among our most frequent and reliable return visits.
The earlier we catch arthritis, the easier it is to manage and the more comfortable your pet will be in the long run.
