CARE Partners and Sponsors

CARE partners and sponsors support our dedication to helping dogs with arthritis live a long, healthy, and active life. These organizations share the CARE philosophies of early identification of osteoarthritis, comprehensive and customized care, and evidence-guided treatment plans. However, sponsorship does not imply that CARE endorses any specific product. Without the generous support of these partners and sponsors, CARE would not be possible.

CARE was founded in order to provide balanced, non-branded information. We deliver evidence-guided, practical resources that help veterinary professionals and pet owners care for dogs with arthritis and chronic pain. The information we provide includes the results of research studies as well as decades of practical experience caring for dogs with arthritis. As such, there are certain products that may seem over-represented based on our clinical experience with their success. CARE does not receive any payment for product placement or support of brands beyond the disclosures on this page. However, as an expert in the field of osteoarthritis, Dr. Shaw has been compensated in the past for her time as a consultant for the following companies: American Regent Animal Health, Aratana Therapeutics, The Canine Rehabilitation Institute, Cutting Edge, Elanco, Owl Manor, Pulse Vet Technologies, Vet Stem Biopharma, Virbac, Zomedica, and Zoetis. As a consultant, Dr. Shaw provides feedback on the efficacy of products and helps guide clinical studies for the development of new treatment options for arthritis. She also occasionally provides continuing education to veterinary professionals on behalf of an industry sponsor. Dr. Shaw is committed to providing honest and sincere information based on her assessment of the evidence and practical use of any products she recommends.
