Most people wish they had pet insurance when their pet develops a medical/surgical problem that they haven't budgeted for. It's important to get pet insurance before a medical problem develops otherwise the condition will be "pre-existing" and will not be reimbursed. Click here to learn more.

Zoetis Rewards

Let us help you save money when you buy Zoetis flea,
heartworm and arthritis medications.

One in 5 adult dogs have a moderate degree of arthritis but, most people aren’t aware that their pet has arthritis because their pet isn’t limping or whimpering. Arthritis of one or more joints seems inevitable as your pet advances into their senior years. Because dogs distribute their weight on 4 legs instead of 2, they can compensate their movements with their unaffected legs. Radiographs are the best way to evaluate joints for arthritis. The following are some signs of arthritis:

Stiffness when getting up
Lags behind on walks
Difficulty jumping up onto furniture or into a car
Reluctance to go up or down stairs
Prefer to sit or lay down instead of standing
Not putting full weight on one leg while standing

We have multiple medical treatments to help your pet’s joint comfort:

The glucosamine/chondroitin medicine that we carry by Nutramax has 10 ingredients and is the highest quality available for joint cartilage production/repair. In 2015, the University of Maryland found that 84% of the non-prescription joint supplements didn’t have the ingredients makeup stated on their package labels.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID’s) are the primary medication prescribed to reduce the pain & inflammation associated with arthritis. The medicine we prescribe the most (Rimadyl) is made by Zoetis/Pfizer.
Nerve growth factor is a protein released by arthritis tissues that generates pain when these proteins bind to pain receptors. Zoetis/Pfizer invented monoclonal antibodies (Librela) to nerve growth factor proteins that bind to the proteins before they bind to pain receptors. The treatment lasts about a month & is given by injection.
We have the best quality Cold Laser Therapy equipment. As the laser energy enters cells, it stimulates the mitochondria to oxygenate the cells and to promote tissue repair while increasing blood flow and reducing inflammation.
Cornell University has performed multiple clinical trials on exclusive CBD + CBDA products (Ellevet) that demonstrated dramatic improvement in mobility and comfort while dogs were taking these products.
