Product Spotlight

Here at Portage Park Animal Hospital, we strive to provide your pets the best veterinary care possible. Part of this is prescribing medications when your pet needs them. We have different medications available at Portage Park, and our veterinarian can discuss with you the best option for your pet depending on their needs. Below is information on a few of our product offerings: Solensia, Simparica Trio, Simparica, ProHeart 6 or ProHeart 12 and Apoquel.

Solensia™

The First and Only FDA-Approved Treatment to Control Osteoarthritis Pain in Cats

Cats are very good at hiding pain. Subtle behavior changes may mean more than you realize. For example, you may notice your cat isn’t jumping up in the bed with you or is now bunny-hopping up the stairs. This may not seem like a major problem, but it could mean your cat is developing osteoarthritis. Just like in people, this can cause pain and limit mobility.

Osteoarthritis occurs when the tissue in your cat’s joints gets worn down, causing the bones to rub against each other. While there is no cure for arthritis, there are ways to manage it. One exciting new development is Solensia. Solensia is a once-a-month injection that can help improve your cat’s quality of life and comfort. Take this quiz to see if your cat may benefit from this new treatment. https://www.zoetispetcare.com/checklist/osteoarthritis-checklist-cat
