You know your pet best. But their pain isn’t always visible - especially in their joints. In fact, they’re experts at hiding it.
That’s why, until 30 November, we’re making it easier to spot the signs your pet might be hiding, with a FREE Mobility Pain Check.
On the outside they look perfectly happy, playing with their favourite chewed-up ball, jumping onto the sofa, and generally being their usual cheeky selves. But behind this behaviour could be something more. Our pets are experts at keeping their pain hidden - so if they have a joint or mobility issue, you might never even notice it.
A mobility pain check is how we spot early signs of any mobility problems in your pet, which can lead to discomfort or pain. It helps us tell you what your pet can't. And, until 30th November, this check is FREE.
Looking for any limping, stiffness, or uneven movement.
Looking for any limitation in movement or sign they're not comfortable.
Some changes are so small you might not have even realised they're happening.
Although they're tricky to spot, there are a few signs you can keep an eye out for.
Are they not quite keeping up like they used to?
Are they pausing before jumping up? Or choosing the floor instead?
Are they going to warm spots or moving stiffly after naps?
Are they watching their toys more than playing with them?
As many as 40-90% of cats have clinical signs of osteoarthritis²
