We recently heard from Angela, who has a beautiful black Labrador named Suzi. Labradors are in the very high-risk category for Osteoarthritis (OA), or arthritis in dogs, due to their large-breed size. The reason is because joint problems are more common. Some Labs suffer from hip or elbow dysplasia, which prevent normal movement and cause pain and immobility. This was causing Suzi to swim less than she would like.
Sometimes it's like putting the cart before the horse. You want your dog to be more active so they have better joint mobility. But if their joints already hurt, it's hard for them to be active. This is what was happening for Suzi.
Angela knew arthritis in dogs was more manageable when you keep your Lab at a healthy weight, and give them good food to eat. Also adding a supplement with nutrients designed to improve joint function, such as with Glyde Mobility Chews is a great way to combat arthritis. This is the same regimen that worked for Angela’s dog, Suzi.
Here is a brief testimonial on how Suzi is now a #GlydeDog.
“Suzi the 11-year-old black Labrador Retriever enjoys the taste of the chews. After nearly finishing our first jar, she seems more active. I’m happy with the improvement of recovery after big swims too. She doesn't seem as sore or stiff, which is great.”
