This is a progressive disease that affects the weight-bearing joints such as hips, spine, knees and elbows. About 25-30%of pets suffer with the same pain and debilitation as people.

Cracks develop in the soft spots with progression of thedisease. The exposed bone remodels and gets spurs whilethe cartilage frays.
