Joint Care for Pets in Roseville, MN

Joint pain is something that can creep up on your pet as they reach their older years but with proper treatment, this can be easily managed by you and your vet. Some symptoms of joint pain to look out for in your pet can range from a decrease in mobility, slower activity time, to a decreased range of motion or hesitation on a limb. Joint pain can appear suddenly or slowly progress. Both of these progressions should be discussed with your doctor as different treatment options may be dependent. Some of our most common diagnosis tools used in association with joint pain can consist of physical examinations and/or x-rays.

Depending on your pet’s diagnosis, we offer a range of treatment options including less-invasive therapeutics options such as Solensia and Adequan or preventative supplements such as Dasuquin Advanced.
