Whether your companion is suffering from severe joint dysfunction or prevention is your intention...

One of the best defenses and treatments for joint dysfunction is a high quality product with Glucosamine/ Chondroitin sulfate compounds. Glucosamine stimulates the production of glucosaminoglycans (GAGs), important proteins found in cartilage and proteoglycans, the water-holding molecules that make up the cartilage. Glucosamine has been shown to not only help ease soreness and discomfort, but also rehabilitate damaged cartilage. Chondroitin sulfate is part of a large protein molecule (proteoglycan) that gives cartilage its elasticity. These compounds may also have anti-inflammatory activity.

Extensive research indicates that omega-3 fatty acids reduce inflammation and help prevent certain chronic health conditions such as joint dysfunction and heart ailments. In addition, essential fatty acids aid in gastrointestinal health and the treatment of allergies (which contribute to inflammation and joint deterioration).

Optimal diet and nutrition are essential because joint issues are commonly a result of toxin buildup in the animal’s system – so the “cleaner” the diet, the fewer toxins in the animal’s system & the more support the body has for healing and resisting disease and further deterioration. Overweight animals are much more prone to joint dysfunction – so a diet may be in order. Please see the article What You Should Know About Your Pet’s Food.


 

Preventing joint deterioration can go a long way to easing the effects of aging for your companion. Holistic veterinarians often recommend that dogs be started on a good joint support regimen that includes glucosamine by the time they are 8 or 9 years old for larger breeds, 10 or 11 for smaller breeds - even when no symptoms are present. Cats can also benefit from glucosamine administration earlier in the aging process rather than waiting until symptoms appear.  Their needs will vary greatly depending upon lifestyle – how much exercise they get, quality of diet, and exposure to environmental toxins in the home.  Start giving your cat glucosamine at the FIRST sign of reduced mobility and activity such as scratching less or lower on posts, not jumping as high or often and stiffness upon rising.
