Dog Arthritis - Disclosed

By Howard Davis


Dogs can suffer from many of the same illnesses and conditions that we humans do. One of the very known health issues in dogs is arthritis. Figure reveals that in the total population of dogs, twenty percent have this health issue and show signs associated with the condition. They feel the same pains of arthritic discomfort that we humans do.
When your dog loves to lie dormant, the sudden increase in body mass, or if he/she plays around and uses only one leg, or if he/she has problem in sitting down or standing up, these are indications that your dog might be suffering arthritis. A visit to a dog clinic would be the best solution so that you will exactly determine what your dog's condition really is and to be able to get the corresponding cure for it. A lot could change for the better if your dog gets immediate medication while the condition is still starting up. Fortunately, alternative medicine is acceptable by our family veterinarian. He advised us to include in our dog's diet, glucosomine, chrondroitin sulfate and vitamin C. These aid in the development of collagen, which provides support to the bones. Fatty acids such as Omega 3 and Omega is an added supplement to give the dog as well. These help to reduce inflammation in the joints, which means less pain. You can easily buy these items in the drugstore and they do help. I for one am a user of these supplements for my own arthritic condition.

Remedies for arthritis in humans and dogs are both alike. Just follow the manufacturer's recommended dosage suggested on the bottle for your dog's weight.

Cartilage in the joints is formed with the presence of glucosomine and chrondroitin. The rate of how cartilage is formed is accelerated with the help of the two supplements.

Glucosomine functions as an amino sugar, part of the carbohydrates group, that becomes part of the body tissue formation instead of being spent as energy. It engages in the creation of nails, tendons, skin, eyes, bones, ligaments and heart valves. It is reported to be successful in the formation and repair of cartilage.

The effect of chrondroitin is that cartilages are toughened and kept in good shape as well as well-oiled joints.

Vitamin C is vital to all animals and humans

Vitamin C is vital to all animals and humans because it is essential for the formation of collagen. These fibers are very plenty in the connective tissue of tendons, ligaments and fascia.

To keep your dog healthy, make sure he or she maintains an ideal weight, gets moderate daily exercise to stay fit and keep joints limber. Do not squeeze into one weekend, exercise that should be done daily for one week. It would become more of a disadvantage rather than an advantage to their well-being. It is better to take one day at a time. Your dog maintaining at its ideal weight and health condition is important in putting off that additional pressure on the bones and joints. Provide your dog a good, healthy diet rich in vitamins, proteins and fibers, and add a supplement specifically for arthritis if your dog is already showing symptoms.
