Causes of high-risk arthritis in dogs and cats

Here are some common causes of arthritis in dogs and cats

1. Breed and Genetics

Dog part:

For example, corgis, dachshunds, poodles, and Pomeranians are prone to hip dislocation, while Labrador and Golden Retrievers are prone to degenerative arthritis and hip injuries.

Cat part:

Such as Scottish fold, curly-eared cat, Mansukken short-legged cat, Maine Coon cat, Abyssinian cat, Persian cat, etc. are all breeds that are prone to hereditary joint diseases

2. Growth stage

From childhood to young adulthood, it is the most active stage of life, that is, the period when the frequency of joint wear and tear is high.

3. Living habits

It is often necessary for the furry child to go up and down the stairs, or jump up and down excitedly when seeing the owner, or the dog often walks upright, which will increase the number of joint bending times, increase the burden of joint wear and tear, and form old injuries.

When the hairy child enters the old age, it is very likely that he is already a patient with degenerative arthritis, so the amount of exercise, weight control, diet, and living habits before entering old age must be very careful~
