Librela Unleashed: A Game-Changer in Canine Arthritis Treatment

At South San Diego Veterinary Hospital, we understand your furry friend's challenges with osteoarthritis. That's why we offer Librela, a breakthrough treatment designed to alleviate pain and improve mobility in dogs suffering from this condition. We encourage pet parents of San Diego, CA's canine population to ask whether Librela is right for your dog.

  • Understanding Osteoarthritis in Dogs

    Osteoarthritis, commonly known as arthritis, is a condition causing joint pain and stiffness. It's prevalent in older dogs but can affect younger ones too. Symptoms include limping, difficulty moving, and apparent discomfort during activities.

Dental Health Matters, Even for Your Pets

Pet dentistry is a crucial aspect of overall pet health care. Like humans, dogs and cats can suffer from dental problems such as plaque buildup, gum disease, and tooth decay. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings are essential to prevent such issues and ensure your pet's mouth remains healthy. These dental evaluations allow veterinarians to detect and treat problems early, preventing more serious conditions and promoting longer, healthier lives for your pets. Proper dental care keeps your pet's teeth and gums healthy and contributes to their overall well-being.
