Arthritis is one of the most common chronic conditions affecting dogs of all ages—even young, otherwise healthy dogs. In 2025, there are now more treatment options available than ever before. And, while that’s good news overall, choosing the right one for your dog can be confusing to say the least!
While traditional treatments, like oral pain killers, physical therapy, and joint supplements continue to play important roles in managing dog arthritis pain, injectable treatments now give veterinarians powerful options for treating the condition, helping dogs move more comfortably and improving their quality of life.
If you’re a pet parent considering injections for your dog’s arthritis, it’s a good idea to weigh the options and learn more about one of the newer treatments called Synovetin OA. It provides a unique way to reduce the inflammation that’s the source of the pain slowing your furry buddy down.
Read on to find out why this treatment is different from other injectables and learn how it has the potential to change the way dog arthritis is treated entirely.
Let’s take a closer look at how Synovetin OA works differently from other dog arthritis treatments
First, it’s important to understand what causes arthritis in dogs in the first place. This condition is driven by a destructive cycle of inflammation, which causes pain and breaks down the cartilage that cushions the joint, resulting in discomfort, limping, and lameness.
- The active ingredient in Synovetin OA, tin-117m, emits effective and safe low-energy radiation that essentially “shuts down” the immune cells that are responsible for inflammation within the joint
- This relieves pain and swelling by reducing the inflammation that causes arthritis to get worse and worse over time
- Since this treatment is targeted therapy that stays inside the joint, it does not affect the rest of the body, so there are no significant side effects
- The result is pain relief that lasts up to 1 full year AND has the potential to prevent future pain by delaying the joint damage that’s caused by inflammation as it gets worse over time
Here are 5 key things that make Synovetin OA stand out from other dog arthritis treatments
1. Proven effective in numerous studies
The active ingredient in Synovetin OA, tin-117m, has been extensively studied. In a recently published research article, researchers examined results from separate studies on rodents and in dogs, and concluded the following:
- Research in rats showed a powerful positive disease-modifying effect, meaning that tin-117m was found to interrupt the progression of arthritis
- Clinical trials in dogs with elbow arthritis showed up to 1 year of continual pain relief and joint improvement even after all of the tin-117m particles had become inactive in the joint (which takes around 2 months after the injection), providing evidence of effectiveness similar to that seen in the rodent studies
2. Just 1 injection provides relief for up to 1 full year
Unlike other injections that require monthly (or even more often!) repeat doses, Synovetin OA is a one-time treatment that can provide relief for up to 12 months or more. This may be especially appealing for busy pet parents who struggle with making time to schedule regular trips to the vet for frequent reinjections.
3. Delivers treatment precisely where it’s needed, and not where it isn’t
Because it acts within the joint, Synovetin OA continues to suppress inflammation at the cellular level long after the injection is given, which has the potential to help slow the progression of arthritis.
4. No significant safety concerns
Synovetin OA has undergone rigorous testing in clinical trials and has been found to be exceptionally safe. Add to this the fact that, in real-world use by 100s of veterinarians around the country, this treatment has been very safe. In fact, it’s now been used in 1000s of dogs with no significant side effects.
5. Cost-effective over time
While the upfront cost of Synovetin OA may initially appear higher, it’s important to remember that it may replace an entire year’s worth of monthly injections or medications. When compared over 12 months, the total cost is often equal to or even less than other treatments.
In Summary, Synovetin OA is Ushering in a New Era in Managing Dog Arthritis Pain
If your dog has arthritis and you’re looking for a longer-lasting solution that avoids frequent injections and works to target the underlying cause of the disease instead of just masking the symptoms, Synovetin OA may be a great choice for you and your dog.
As anyone who has watched their furry friend slow down, limp, or struggle with everyday activities due to joint pain, it’s good to know there’s a proven, ground-breaking path to relief—one that’s long-lasting, minimally invasive, and safe.
With any treatment, it’s important to talk with your veterinarian to determine the best plan for your dog’s specific needs. For many pet parents and their dogs, Synovetin OA may just be the key to restoring the ability to run, jump, and play again.
