3. ❄️ Warm poultices
- Why? Heat soothes pain related to inflammation.
- How? A warm (not burning) hot water bottle on the painful area for 10 min, under supervision.
- Frequency: 1 to 2 times/day during painful flare-ups.
4. 💸 Weight control
- Why? Overweight exacerbates osteoarthritis by overloading the joints.
- How? Calculated ration, light kibble, regular weighing.
- Goal: Return to the ideal weight validated by the vet.
- Tip: The Weloca Joint Formula bites are only 2 grams to avoid weight gain during the treatment.
5. 🏃️ Gentle and regular physical activity
