Dog with arthritis and Joint painArthritis and Joint-Pain Issues with Dogs & Cats


There are many forms of painful Mobility issues with pets, especially Dogs.  This page touches on only one of them, with further information found here - ARTHRITIS/JOINT-PAIN
 
HERE ARE LINKS FOR SPECIFIC INFORMATION ON - HIP DYSPLASIA,  PANO, OCD, or HOD 
 
ARTHRITIS - THE MOST FREQUENT CAUSE OF PAIN SYMPTOMS
There are many types of Arthritis and associated causes of degenerative joint disease in pets (and humans). Symptoms include mobility problems such as difficulty in rising, walking, running, climbing steps, or even standing. These symptoms result from the less obvious symptoms of pain, swelling, and inflammation along with the actual destruction of cartilage and joints quite often. Causative factors can include improper lubrication in the joints along with buildup of toxins and free-radicals.
 
In soft tissue injuries, torn ligaments can destabilize the joint area which can then cause dislocation of its natural position and sometimes the need for surgery.
 
AUTOIMMUNE ARTHRITIS
This form is also known as Rheumatoid Arthritis, and comes about when the body attacks its own immune system causing serious pain, inflammation, joint swelling and deformity of the joints.
 
INFECTIOUS ARTHRITIS
Also known as Septic Arthritis/Septicemia is often diagnosed as HOD or Hypertrophic Osteodystrophy by mistake. Septic Arthritis is an infection of the blood and a misdiagnosis can be a life threatening situation for your pet. For more information on HOD see - Help, My Puppy Has HOD.
 
OSTEOARTHRITIS
This form is probably the most common version, and can be referred to as degenerative joint disease.  It typically is the result of aging, trauma to the joint, or infection caused damage to the joints. Osteoarthritis, in the form of elbow or hip dysplasia, can have numerous causes; i.e., genetics, nutrition, injury and normal wear and tear on the joints, which then cause inflammation, reduced flexibility and less mobility.
 
SIMPLE HELP FOR A COMMON PROBLEM
Every pet, regardless of age must have a daily source of living dietary enzymes in their diet to help replenish the body's valuable and needed nutritional resources. NZYMES® products help fulfill this dietary need while also helping the body to reduce inflammation and then cleanse toxins and free radicals from soft tissue, along with supporting the body's immune function as well.

So, for Dogs, Cats, or other pets, significant relief for Arthritis and similar Joint-Pain issues can be surprisingly simple. As just mentioned, there are two NZYMES® products (seen to your left) that can help support the body with needed resources - with the final result of having an amazing effect on these types of pain issues. For a better understanding, move to the next TAB - How Can NZYMES Help.
 
Arthritis Symptoms:  Limping, favoring a leg, difficulty in rising, difficulty in climbing steps/stairs, difficulty with jumping or getting in or out of a vehicle, difficulty walking or running, apparent lethargy (preference on resting). whimpering or indication of pain.


How NZYMES® Granules or Antioxidant Treats Can Help
While some medications can provide help with inflammation reduction, most carry the worry of side-effects and will not likely aid the body in resolving any underlying problem. By contrast, the special 'live nutrition' found in the NZYMES® products provide benefits to the body enabling the metabolic mechanisms to quickly relieve inflammatory issues, and then support the bodily mechanisms responsible for cleansing – especially of toxins and free radical buildup. This process alone can make a solid difference in joint-health, as the buildup of these items in joint tissue can affect swelling and inflammation.

The power of the body to restore and repair, or just simply work better, when it receives the RESOURCES it needs is a wondrous thing to see. NZYMES® Granules or Treats are products which provide the body with those RESOURCES. The effective result is a body stronger in its ability to cleanse, repair and restore – solving its own problems, simply by having received what it needed. We have a Video Demo that lets you see all this in action.

Using NZYMES Treats or Granules

To See the Benefits from either product that you choose, simply follow the recommendations on the bottle or jar specified for the weight of your pet. Be sure to provide for the doubling period - of about 14-15 days.
 
Here are examples - of supplementation to a DOG of about 50 lbs:
  1. If using Treats - provide the dog with 2 Treats per day for 14-15 days (doubling period, to boost cleansing and increased anti-inflammatory activity).  After this period, provide your pet with 1 Treat per day. Very serious cases may require doubling for an extended period of time - to help the body normalize. You may have to play this by ear.
  2. If using Granules - for the same 50lb DOG, you will likely have a FREE bottle of Treats, provided to help with the Doubling period. Use the Treats for this period, exactly as in item 1. After the doubling period, the normal distribution to a Dog this size is 1/2 Teaspoon per day. You can substitute 1 Treat any time you wish. The Granules can be mixed with dry food, wet food, or a small amount of plain yogurt (or similar wet, low-sugar item).

Secondary to adding the NZYMES products to the diet, we always suggest that you review our recommended foods list, as most of the Big-Brand foods available will be adding significant amounts of chemicals (preservatives, antibiotics, colorings/dyes, pest prevention) to the food which can build up over time and cause degenerative disease in your pets.  ARTICLE - Pet Foods Recommended by NZYMES
