Pets cannot describe pain or discomfort, so owners often rely on subtle changes in behaviour, appetite, or energy levels to gauge their health. Even attentive owners may struggle to decide whether a symptom is minor or a sign of something more serious, particularly when a pet appears outwardly stable. This uncertainty commonly leads to concern rather than complacency.
Our dogs and cats bring so much joy through the way they move through the world. They leap after toys, race across rooms and climb with confidence, often with little awareness of physical limits. This natural playfulness is part of what makes them such cherished companions, but it can also place their bodies at risk. When a bone breaks, the impact can be sudden, painful and deeply concerning for owners.

A dog's heart condition is often first detected after changes such as reduced energy, laboured breathing, or difficulty on walks are noticed, followed by a veterinary diagnosis to confirm the heart problem. For some dogs with heart disease that no longer respond well to medication, further intervention may be considered.
