Hannah Capon

MA Vet MB MRCVS

FounderCanine Arthritis Management

Hannah Capon, MA Vet MB MRCVS, is a primary care veterinarian in the United Kingdom and as you will see, she shares the same passion and commitment to canine OA that we do here at CARE. Hannah currently practices at Greenside Veterinary Practice in Scotland, where she specializes in seeing dogs with OA and provides rehabilitation, regenerative medicine, and novel management methods to help dogs with this common debilitating disease. But beyond her day to day practice, Hannah is the creator and life force behind Canine Arthritis Management (CAM, caninearthritis.co.uk), an online education and support service for owners of arthritic dogs and professionals that care for them.

CAM began as a simple Facebook page in 2015 where Hannah would promote earlier identification of OA and thorough multimodal management plans. Now it boasts a flourishing service run by a team of veterinary professionals who volunteer their time and expertise to help owners. CAM has a website with downloadable information, particularly regarding home environment modifications for dogs with OA. CAM also has a large social media presence through Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. CAM also provides continuing education for veterinarians, dog groups, paraprofessionals and owners in the UK and Europe.

In recognition for her tireless efforts on CAM, Hannah was the winner of the 2019 Ceva Vet of the Year and finalist in the 2019 Petplan Vet of the Year.
