| dc.description.abstract | Canine osteoarthritis (OA) is a degenerative disease causing chronic pain, loss of joint function
and impaired mobility. It is estimated that OA affects approximately 20% of dogs ≥1 year old
and 90% of dogs >5 years old [1]. Osteoarthritis is also a major issue worldwide for
veterinarians, owners and breeders. Today, there is no efficient treatment able to treat the
primary cause(s) of osteoarthritis and curing the clinical signs of pain. The objective of
accessible therapies is to alleviate joint pain, retard the progression of the disease and improve
motility, and the final goal is to enhance the global quality of life. | en_US |
