Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common cause of chronic pain in dogs. It affects 80% of dogs over the age of 8, and potentially up to 35% of dogs of all ages. It's considered a welfare concern in companion animals, especially if left untreated, and is often called a "silent pain" since dogs frequently suffer without their guardians realising or acknowledging it. Arthritis is often thought of as a disease of old age, but it can occur in dogs of any age - developmental joint disease, which affects younger dogs, is actually the leading cause of arthritis.
