Joint Support for Pets

One of the most valuable things we can do to ease our pets' aging is to take care of their joints. It can be a costly (and painful) mistake to wait until signs of joint wear are seen to begin addressing your pet's joint support. Starting in adulthood, many pets will benefit from a good supplement with joint-building nutrients like glucosamine & chondroitin, which combine with their own naturally occurring joint-builders to repair damage before it becomes severe, causes discomfort or limits mobility. Starting early to support your pet’s joints can greatly extend your pet’s comfort during their golden years.

Our featured articles this month start with our comprehensive “Natural Alternatives for Arthritis & Joint Stiffness,” which describes 13 natural approaches to support your pet’s joints. A streamlined overview of joint support for pets can be found in the “Joint Support Primer,” written by guest author Barbara Osgood-Hartness, of In Clover, the makers of vet-tested Connectin, an excellent joint support choice for cats or dogs.

question markQuestions from Readers: "What ingredients should I look for in a natural joint support supplement?"

When choosing joint support products, consider your pet's level of need, and then look for products that contain the appropriate level of  key joint support factors, each of which performs a different activity in supporting joint health. The three key factors for a good joint support product are listed below from most basic to advanced degrees of joint support need:
  • Joint-building compounds - Ingredients like glucosamine and chondroitin supply joints with materials for repair and maintenance of healthy joint tissues. These ingredients can help adult pets maintain healthy joints and slow the process of joint damage as pets enter their senior years.
     
  • Antioxidants - This group includes Ester-C, Vitamin E, Turmeric, and Green Tea, all antioxidants that can help reduce the joint-damaging effects of free radicals. Increased free radical activity can damage cells in pets' joints and elsewhere in the body, and is a common occurrence as pets age.
     
  • Anti-inflammatory support - Relief is offered by herbs like Boswellia and Yucca, which help ease discomfort and reduce the impact of inflammation on joint deterioration. While many antioxidants are known to help ease inflammation, that benefit is typically stronger with anti-inflammatory herbs. Geriatric pets, even healthy ones, may need extra help for pain - critical to keep them mobile and engaged in life.
