Supporting Mobility in Senior Dogs

Tess, a 11-year-old Labrador x Huntaway, was showing signs of reduced mobility and difficulty jumping. She was very stiff and sore after her beach walks and her owners were concerned when they bought her to the Veterinary Centre.

Radiographs of the hips and pelvis showed underlying hip dysplasia and severe osteoarthritis.

Her Blue Cross Veterinary Centre team recommended ROYAL CANIN® MOBILITY C2P+ diet as part of a comprehensive management plan to control pain, lose weight and improve mobility.

Within weeks of starting on Rimadyl (ACVM A008023) and transitioning to the diet, Tess showed improved ease of movement and increased activity levels. The diets’ hydrolysed collagen supported joint cartilage, while its moderate calorie content is helping maintain her ideal weight, reducing joint stress. Antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids have contributed to her overall joint health.
