There are many joint supplements available that promote good joint health and can aid in both the prevention and management of arthritis. Arthritis supplements are not painkillers, but they do help to reduce the severity of the arthritic symptoms. Some products like, 4CYTE and Sashas Blend, contain glucosamine and chondroitin which help arthritis management by increasing the supply available to the joints of the "building blocks" of healthy cartilage. Joint Guard also contains MSM (Methyl sulphonyl methane) which helps maintain flexibility and elasticity of body tissues and can provide pain relief as it is a natural anti-inflammatory. Omega 3 Oil Supplements in the diet can have an anti- inflammatory effect for arthritis and also allergic dermatitis. Other products like Rose Hip Vital and Turmeric are all natural anti-inflammatories that can help reduce arthritic pain. Your veterinarian is also able to prescribe medication for your pet to help manage arthritis. Anti-inflammatories or corticosteroid medications may be given to help reduce the pain and inflammation associated with arthritis. There are also some injectable medications, that your vet can administer, that promote cartilage repair and protection. Although it can be a terrible and painful illness the correct management of arthritis can ensure that your pet can live a happy and healthy full life. If you have any concerns or questions or want to have your pets arthritis diagnosed please contact your veterinarian.
