If they live long enough it's inevitable so it should be taken into consideration even when caring for young dogs. My vet said that its a matter of when a dog will get arthritis… not if.

It is typical for an animal to lose 75% of an organ's function before they become symptomatic. Additionally, like humans, once a animal reaches mid-life, the probability of living late into their senior years is 35% hereditary and 65% healthy living. Dental care is also a very important aspect of routine wellness for pets. The plaque and bacteria found with dental disease can cause a host of other problems including heart disease. An investment in routine wellness care promotes a long and healthy life for your pet and helps prevent the high cost of treating advanced disease. Wellness exams are extremely important for our pets.
