The graph shows the incidence of orthopaedic diseases from studies conducted between 2006 and 2021.
Despite the ever-increasing research in veterinary medicine, a shift in the pattern of lameness diagnosed by veterinarians with unknown causes has been noted.

In 2006, the rate of unknown causes of diagnosed lameness was about 20%, whereas in 2021 an increased rate of more than double was statistically recorded.

Thus, according to the studies, the above diagnosis is expected to increase to 60% of all domestic dogs by 2030.

Whether they get sick or stay healthy depends not only on their genetics but also on our care and the relationship between owner and dog.

Relationship, exercise, diet, psychological activities, prevention, aftercare.

Studies prove the connection between stress and the psychological impact on the well-being of dogs whose natural needs have not been fulfilled for years.

According to the study, more than half of the 2,900 test dogs became significantly ill during the study period. Overall, the abnormalities in these dogs were about 47% higher than in animals under species-appropriate husbandry and care.
