A method for modulating enzymatic degradation of articular cartilage in a dog comprises administering to the dog an enzymatic degradation modulating effective amount of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), for example as a component of a food composition. By practice of the method in a dog having arthritis, mobility of the dog can be increased, weight bearing in an arthritic limb can be increased, and/or pain associated with arthritis can be reduced.

L'invention concerne un procédé permettant de moduler la dégradation articulaire chez un chien. Ledit procédé consiste à administrer au chien une quantité d'acide éicosapentaénoïque (EPA) efficace pour moduler la dégradation enzymatique, par exemple en tant que constituant d'une composition alimentaire. Par mise en pratique du procédé chez un chien présentant de l'arthrite, la mobilité du chien peut être augmentée, le poids portant sur un membre arthritique peut être augmenté et/ou la douleur associée à l'arthrite peut être réduite.
