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.
