Natural Help Options for Arthritis in Dogs
A Look at Arthritis in Dogs
Arthritis is a degenerative joint condition that involves pain and discomfort of one or more joints. Research shows that one in five dogs will develop arthritis over a lifetime. Several breeds develop it at a much younger age than others.
Arthritis in dogs is the most common source of joint pain and discomfort that veterinarians treat each year. When you first notice your dog’s mobility and movements changing, it usually relates to a recent or previous injury. Also, in dogs where poor nutrition was a factor, growth issues like PANO, HOD, or OCD can be involved. Inflammation related pain from arthritis can be helped with certain forms of LIVE nutrition.
Many cases of arthritis in dogs are directly related to inflammatory conditions. And, a major source of inflammation is found within the majority of commercial pet foods, which are laden with too much sugar (high-glycemic Carbs). Fed over a lifetime, these heavy-sugar DIETS may constantly increase degradation of your pet’s overall joint health – as un-checked inflammation contributes to stiffness, pain and further degradation. Without some daily quality nutrition, the synovial fluid that surrounds and lubricates joints can deteriorate, break down and lose viscosity, resulting in the loss of smooth joint function, thereby causing further inflammation and pain. The overall result of continued deterioration is bone-to-bone contact and extreme movement difficulties.
