One in five adult dogs and the majority of senior dogs and cats have a moderate degree of arthritis in one or more joints. Most pets with arthritis don't limp. Arthritis is a silent but painful disease. Pets experience discomfort much more than their owners recognize, whether it is due to glaucoma, dental disease, a bite wound, a bladder infection, a bladder stone, pancreatitis, the pain of an enlarging tumor, colitis, or the pain associated with arthritis.

Signs of arthritis are varied and may include:
- difficulty with stairs or jumping up onto furniture or into the car;
- stiffness when getting up;
- lagging behind on walks;
- preferring to sit or lie down rather than stand on all 4 legs;
- trembling or panting;
- being less muscular on the affected leg(s).
