Description

Helping advance canine joint health

We’re enrolling dogs with osteoarthritis or mobility problems to study the connection between gut health and osteoarthritis.

Visits are designed to be low-stress and Fear Free, include imaging and specialized walking and standing data, as well as multiple opportunities to learn more about our best friends!

What this study evaluates

  • We are testing a supplement designed to support the gut lining in a double blind study.
  • A healthier gut lining may play a role in overall wellness for dogs with osteoarthritis.
  • In this study, we’re looking at how prebiotics — like the GOS supplement we’re using — might affect pain.
