WHAT ARE
THE MOST COMMON
JOINT PROBLEMS?
- Osteoarthritis or degenerative joint disease is the most common cause of lameness, and can affect 20% of dogs over one year old. This disease produces inflammation of the joints and intense chronic pain in your dog.
- Dogs can also develop osteochondrosis, a congenital defect in the development of joint cartilage.
- Hip or elbow dysplasia is also common in large breeds. It is passed on through the genes and involves abnormal formation of the hip joint.

Excess weight
Dogs that are overweight are most likely to suffer from these diseases and other conditions related to the joints.
