Specialized Pet Arthritis, Dental, and Mobility Care
If your pet is slowing down, stiff after a nap, or having trouble eating, they might be in pain. We provide specialized veterinary support for mobility issues like arthritis and essential dental care to keep your pet comfortable and active.
Physiotherapy can be a game-changer for pets with mobility issues. Our in-house veterinary physiotherapist, Dr. Prerna, explains when and why physiotherapy is needed for conditions like arthritis, neurological problems, and post-surgical recovery.
Is your pet slowing down? It might not just be old age. This infographic series explains that arthritis, a degenerative joint disease, could be the hidden cause of their stiffness or reluctance to move.
What exactly is pet arthritis? It's a condition that causes pain, swelling, and stiffness in the joints. Understanding the basics helps you recognize the need for veterinary care to manage your pet's comfort.
Several factors can contribute to arthritis in dogs, including age, obesity, past injuries, and joint deformities. Identifying these causes helps us create a more effective management plan.
Early signs of arthritis can be subtle. This graphic points out what to look for, such as limping, stiffness after rest, reluctance to climb stairs, and changes in mood.
Managing arthritis involves a multi-faceted approach. We use a combination of pain relief medication, joint supplements, weight management, and physiotherapy to improve your pet's quality of life.
With the right care plan, pets with arthritis can lead happy, active lives. Talk to our expert vets about creating a pain management and mobility plan tailored to your furry friend's needs.
About this collection
Mobility issues often sneak up on us—you might notice your dog hesitating at the stairs or licking their joints more than usual. At Zigly, we don't just offer pain relief; our in-house veterinary physiotherapists work with you to create a management plan that includes low-impact exercises, weight control, and nutritional support to help your pet regain their spark.
Beyond Just 'Old Age'
It is a myth that a dog slowing down is just 'getting old.' Whether it is arthritis, spondylosis, or chronic pain from injuries, your pet could be struggling with discomfort that is entirely manageable. Our approach to mobility focuses on identifying the root cause early. Whether your pet needs physiotherapy for IVDD (Intervertebral Disc Disease), recovery after surgery, or relief from joint inflammation, our team is equipped to help.
Why Dental Health Matters
Your pet's mouth is the gateway to their overall health. Did you know that 80% of pups develop some form of dental disease by age three? Left untreated, bacteria from gum infections can travel to the heart, liver, and kidneys. We don't just 'clean' teeth; we perform thorough health assessments to prevent pain and systemic illness, keeping those smiles bright and healthy.
The Zigly Approach
We believe in a holistic path to care:
- Diagnostics: Using digital X-rays and ultrasounds to see exactly what is happening in the joints or oral cavity.
- Physiotherapy: A non-invasive way to manage pain and improve range of motion using techniques that suit your pet's temperament.
- Pain Management: Tailored medication plans to reduce inflammation and keep your pet comfortable.
- Education: We show you how to monitor your pet at home, what signs to watch for, and how to use supplements like Glucosamine and Omega-3s effectively.
If you are worried about your pet's stiffness or notice bad breath and trouble eating, don't wait for it to get worse. Our vets are here to listen and help your pet get back to their playful self.
Zigly
