LOCAL veterinary practice D.J. Longley Veterinary Surgeons of Carnforth, are offering free arthritis checks for dogs at their surgery.
David Longley, senior partner at the practice, explained "Pet arthritis often goes unnoticed and untreated because dogs are much braver than people, and don't let on that their joints are sore.
"The good news is that the condition can be successfully treated."
Until May 31 2000, vets at D.J. Longley Veterinary Surgeons will carry out an arthritis check for existing clients free of charge in conjunction with National Pet Week which starts May 1.
