HOW CAM CAN HELP YOU
We empower allied professionals with evidence-based tools, resources, and courses- build confidence to recognise pain early and advocate for dogs in your care. Together, we can achieve earlier diagnosis, better pain management, and a longer, happier healthspan for every dog living with arthritis.
Canine Arthritis Management
Learn. Recognise. Support.
Osteoarthritis is one of the most common conditions allied professionals will encounter when working with dogs, and is one of the leading causes of chronic pain. Take a look at our CAM Advocate courses, which have been created to give you the knowledge and confidence to recognise signs of pain, guide guardians, and promote proactive management.
The Member Zone has been created to help you support your clients. With step-by-step guidance, practical resources, and access to expert advice and videos, it offers a supportive community where caregivers can feel empowered to make informed decisions.
