It is very heartbreaking for a pet owner to know that your dog or cat is suffering from a medical condition such as arthritis or some other joint pain. One day you find that your dog or cat is not their usual self.  They’re not running and jumping as normal.  They don’t climb the stairs like they normally do.  It is sad to see them in so much pain.

You Might Think that Your Only Alternative is to Take Your Pet Straight to the Veterinarian and See What They Can Do to Relieve Your Pet’s Pain

Of course, this can be very costly.  The vet’s solution very possibly will be to start giving your pet some type of drug to help relieve the pain.  If you are like me, I just don’t want to start putting chemicals in my dog’s body.  Surely there must be a natural alternative.

Joint problems can develop at any stage of your pet’s life.  Older pets are more prone to joint problems.  Other factors include the breed, its age, its genetics, and its diet.  An overweight condition can also cause joint disorders.  It’s estimated that as much as 68% of the dog population has some type of joint illness.

It is very important to understand how you can prevent joint disorders in your pets or, at least, how you can treat them.  Common types of joint ailments include dysplasia in the hip or elbow, arthritis, osteoarthritis, and luxating patella.  Dysplasia results in joint instability and pain.

Mid-sized to larger breeds are afflicted by dysplasia more than other dogs.  Those breeds include Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds, Labrador Retrievers, Rottweilers, and Great Danes.

Symptoms of joint disorders include lameness, joint swelling, yelping or whining when moving in certain ways, holding one leg up, etc.

The Good News: There are Healthy Alternatives to Help Prevent or Treat Joint Disorders

There are several ingredients that are critical to joint care prevention and treatment.  Most treatment is in the form of a supplements or powder.  Most products provide only isolated treatment.  It is important that the supplement provide a natural, holistic, multi-action joint support formula which includes scientifically tested ingredients.

The supplement should include glucosamine, MSM, and Chondroitin.  Glucosamine helps maintain and promote joint and connective tissue health.  MSM is a natural ingredient vital to the maintenance of joints, bones, ligaments, and tendons.  Chondroitin provides lubrication and flexibility of connective tissues.

Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids derived from fish oil are also very important in improving joint health and function.  They are known to provide a positive effect on joint stiffness and fatigue.

One of my dogs, a German Shepherd mix, has seen significant improvement in her joints since going on a natural product a couple of years ago.  I recommend that you give a natural, joint support supplement to your pet before they experience any joint problems.
