Join us and Discover...

  • How a holistic approach to osteoarthritis (OA) meets both the psychological and physical needs of dogs within evidence-based veterinary practice.

  • How pain management is just one pillar of a successful OA care plan.

  • How you can work with your vet team to develop a structured yet adaptable management strategy.

Join us as we host Dr. Hannah Capon, MA Vet MB MRCV in this fascinating exploration of long term OA management strategies that move beyond NSAIDs and anti-NGFs.

Effective osteoarthritis (OA) management is much more involved than simply controlling pain - it requires a comprehensive, long-term strategy that addresses the physical, physiological, and psychological well-being of affected dogs.

While advancements in pharmaceutical and non-pharmaceutical interventions have expanded our treatment options, optimizing daily function and quality of life remains the ultimate goal.

🐾 This session explores a holistic, multimodal approach to OA management, ensuring that dogs not only experience pain relief but also maintain the activities of daily living that contribute to their overall well-being.
