Discover Through Real Life Case Studies...

  • The varied presentations of canine osteoarthritis and the importance of an adaptable management strategy.

  • The biopsychosocial impact of OA and the role of lifestyle medicine in improving patient outcomes.

  • How to develop tailored, multimodal management plans in collaboration with veterinary care teams.

Join us as we host Dr. Hannah Capon, MA Vet MB MRCV in this fascinating deep dive in the world of OA. Osteoarthritis (OA) is a complex disease, but its true challenge lies in the significant physical, physiological, and psychological consequences of chronic pain.

Each case is unique, as is each caregiver, making a one-size-fits-all approach ineffective. Instead, successful management requires tailored, evolving care plans that consider both the dog's needs and the caregiver’s resources.

🐾 Using real world case studies, this session will explore how shared decision-making and a biopsychosocial approach can lead to effective, long-term OA management strategies.
