Osteoarthritis (OA) is a complicated disorder that involves joint deterioration and inflammation. The Greek words osteo, arthro, and itis are combined to form the word osteoarthritis. Osteo refers to bone, arthro means joint, while itis defines inflammation. Dogs with OA endure discomfort and inflammation in a number of joints, which makes it difficult for them to go about their daily lives. A comprehensive physical examination, palpation (using the fingers to localize and rate the level of pain), and further diagnostics such as x-rays or other imaging techniques are used to diagnose OA.

A slick material called cartilage serves as a divider or cushion between the bones within a joint. It makes it painless for the bones to move around or over one another. When a joint's cartilage suffers damage, arthritis develops. An arthritic joint eventually becomes painfully inflamed. In humans, there are about 100 different kinds of arthritis. Osteoarthritis, also referred to as a degenerative joint disease, is the most prevalent type in animals. Rheumatoid arthritis and septic arthritis, which are brought on by joint infection, are further forms. Animals that are older or middle-aged frequently get arthritis. However, these age groups are not the only ones affected by the ailment and younger animals can also contract it.

Changes in the animal's behavior, which are the main symptoms of the disease, frequently become obvious when arthritis eventually produces changes in the joint that result in discomfort. Due to the fact that arthritis frequently worsens with age, pet owners can misinterpret behavioral changes in their animals for age-related changes, such as a downturn in energy while in reality, the animal may be experiencing rather severe arthritis pain.
