- Arthritis TreatmentIf you are the owner of a large breed dog, then you are probably familiar with the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals. For larger dogs, OFA Certified refers to the dog’s hip joints and is an indicator of potential problems for your dog. Hip problems for active dogs can cause pain and discomfort that will only get progressively worse. Unstable hip joints will lead to osteoarthritis.

It is a serious, progressive disease, but the earlier it is detected, the better the chances that your pet will recover.
