Vet.

This narrative review draws on self-determination theory (SDT) to explore how the experience of OA-associated CP reshapes the self-determination capacities within owner\u2013dog dyads. It describes the deco-construction of dyadic co-construction induced by the apparition and progression of OA-associated CP, followed by its reco-construction after the veterinary diagnosis, integrating a pivotal moment: the owner\u2019s rupture point. Its objectives are twofold: (1) from a SDT perspective, to conceptualize these processes when the dog develops OA-associated CP; and (2) to propose strategies that help dyads navigate them more effectively and trigger the rupture point earlier. Deco-construction progressively erodes dyadic self-determination. While the accumulation of CP-related signals may lead the owner to their rupture point, their perceived competence, denial, wait-and-see attitude and apprehension of veterinary cost often delay it. Reco-construction relies on respecting the self-determination of the dog, the owner, and the veterinarian. At home, the adaptation of therapeutic strategies enables the dyad to regain a sense of mutual self-determination. These processes are influenced by biopsychosocial, experiential, environmental, and technical factors specific to the dog, the human, and the disease. A strong co-construction appears to facilitate them. To better capture the dynamics of co-\/deco-\/reco-construction and anticipate owners\u2019 rupture point, several tools appear promising, but none fully integrate co-construction, bidirectionality, and dyadic attachment. There is an urgent need to develop more integrative conceptual frameworks and tools. This review remains conceptual and narrative in nature (albeit based on an exhaustive literature), and the proposed framework has not yet been clinically validated.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fvets.2026.1828548","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,12]],"date-time":"2026-08-12T04:39:18Z","timestamp":1786509558000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["From dyadic deco-construction to reco-construction: a framework for the human\u2013osteoarthritic dog relationship"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Laurie","family":"Martin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Groupe de Recherche en Pharmacologie Animale du Qu\u00e9bec (GREPAQ), Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al","place":["Saint-Hyacinthe, QC, Canada"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Colombe","family":"Otis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Groupe de Recherche en Pharmacologie Animale du Qu\u00e9bec (GREPAQ), Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al","place":["Saint-Hyacinthe, QC, Canada"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bertrand","family":"Lussier","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Groupe de Recherche en Pharmacologie Animale du Qu\u00e9bec (GREPAQ), Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al","place":["Saint-Hyacinthe, QC, Canada"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Eric","family":"Troncy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Groupe de Recherche en Pharmacologie Animale du Qu\u00e9bec (GREPAQ), Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al","place":["Saint-Hyacinthe, QC, Canada"]}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"2875","DOI":"10.3390\/ani15192875","article-title":"A conceptual framework for the co-construction of human\u2013dog dyadic relationship","volume":"15","author":"Martin","year":"2025","journal-title":"Animals"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1093\/oxfordhb\/9780197600047.001.0001","volume-title":"The Oxford Handbook of Self-Determination Theory","author":"Ryan","year":"2023"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"39","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jveb.2023.02.006","article-title":"Dog owners\u2019 recognition of pain-related behavioral changes in their dogs","volume":"62","author":"Demirtas","year":"2023","journal-title":"J Vet Behav Clin Appl Res"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"29","DOI":"10.3917\/dbu.bunge.2023.01.0029","volume-title":"Mieux Vivre avec la Douleur Chronique","author":"Laroche","year":"2023"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"55","DOI":"10.5326\/jaaha-ms-7292","article-title":"2022 AAHA pain management guidelines for dogs and cats","volume":"58","author":"Gruen","year":"2022","journal-title":"J Am Anim Hosp Assoc"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"177","DOI":"10.1111\/jsap.13566","article-title":"WSAVA guidelines for the recognition, assessment and treatment of pain","volume":"64","author":"Monteiro","year":"2022","journal-title":"J Small Anim Pract"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"382","DOI":"10.3390\/healthcare12030382","article-title":"The effectiveness of combined exercise and self-determination theory programmes on chronic low back pain: a systematic review and metanalysis","volume":"12","author":"Navas-Otero","year":"2024","journal-title":"Healthcare"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"267","DOI":"10.1111\/scs.12735","article-title":"Understanding informal caregivers\u2019 motivation from the perspective of self-determination theory: an integrative review","volume":"34","author":"Dombestein","year":"2020","journal-title":"Scand J Caring Sci"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"3225","DOI":"10.1016\/j.pec.2022.07.017","article-title":"How do peer support interventions for the self-management of chronic pain, support basic psychological needs?
