Giving the best care, even in their golden years. Request Appointment Geriatric Pet Care

We believe that we should do everything in our power to help keep geriatric pets comfortable as they age. Older pets often suffer from arthritis and other causes of joint pain. We have many options for pain control and joint care. Never give your pet your own medications or over the counter medications without consulting with us first. Many human pain medications are very dangerous for pets. At Spring Branch Veterinary Hospital we understand how strong your bond is to your pet.

Joint Medications For Your Pet

Meloxidyl

Meloxidyl is a non-steroidal anti inflammatory drug (NSAID) specifically designed for dogs with joint pain. There are many other pain control options for dogs and cats.

Dasuquin joint chews are joint supplement designed to slow damage to joints due to arthritis.

Adequan

Librela
