Enhancing Canine Comfort: Monthly Injectable Antibody Therapy for Osteoarthritis Pain
As pet owners, witnessing our beloved canine companions struggle with osteoarthritis (OA) pain can be heart-wrenching. Seeing them limp, struggle to rise, or become less active breaks our hearts. However, there’s hope on the horizon, thanks to advancements in veterinary medicine. One such breakthrough is Zoetis’ monthly injectable antibody therapy, offering safe and effective long-term pain control for dogs with OA.
Understanding Canine Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis, commonly known as arthritis, is a degenerative joint disease that affects dogs of all ages and breeds. It occurs when the protective cartilage that cushions the ends of bones wears down over time, leading to pain, inflammation, and decreased mobility. While OA cannot be cured, its symptoms can be managed to improve the quality of life for affected dogs.

Zoetis’ monthly injectable antibody therapy provides a novel approach to managing canine OA pain. Administered as a subcutaneous injection at the veterinary clinic, this innovative treatment offers several key benefits:
