This one-hour presentation follows a real-life approach to canine osteoarthritis management in a case-based discussion. Canine osteoarthritis is a complex disease that impacts quality of life for many of our canine patients. Effective management requires development of a baseline treatment plan that is customized to the individual patient and includes a plan for managing flare-ups. This presentation provides attendees with a systematic, evidence-based approach that can be implemented in general practice.
