The pain of arthritis (osteoarthritis or OA) adversely impacts the lives of dogs and cats as well as the activities we can share in with them.

• Maladaptive pain - what it is and its impact on an animal's quality of life
• Medications including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs), amantadine, and gabapentin
• What veterinarians can and should be incorporating in their practices for addressing maladaptive pain
• Supplements and an evidence-based approach to their use - when, why, and how to use them in combination
• Advanced OA management including joint injections for cartilage protection and stem cell therapy
