Osteoarthritis (OA) is a progressive and painful disease that can affect dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds. In a recent People.com feature, Dr. Courtney Pierce, Canine Pain Medical Lead at Zoetis, discusses how pet parents can recognize the signs of OA pain and help their dogs live more comfortable, active lives. She also shares her personal experience with her own dog, Ernie, who was diagnosed with OA at just four years old.
