Senior dogs are always on our minds. Our dogs are living longer and reaching older age status, and there are more senior dogs than ever and many of them are in our homes or at a shelter, ready to adopt. If you bring in a new senior dog, or have one at home, adding a hip and joint supplement for your senior dog is a great decision to help with the health of your dog as they age. There are many questions, and we have answers!
Did you know that dogs suffer from arthritis? While many humans struggle with arthritis, many dogs do too. Arthritis can be as painful for dogs as it is for humans. A majority or 80% of dogs will experience arthritis in dogs by the time they are considered senior dog at age 8. The good news is, just as arthritis is treatable in humans, it is also treatable in dogs. For many, a joint supplement for dogs is the best long-term answer.
Science has been searching for something powerful to help relieve arthritis pain in dogs, without the side effects of medication. Medications for pain, also called NSAIDs, are good for when you have an injury and are recovering. But just as in humans, it’s not a good long-term solution for your dog to take medication for arthritis.
Joint supplements are one of the best long-term treatments for arthritis you can easily add to your dog's diet. When looking for a joint supplement for dogs, be sure to check the ingredients. And while you are looking at those ingredients, be sure to notice how much there is in the chew or tablet of the joint supplement you choose. Joint supplements for both humans and dogs commonly include glucosamine and chondroitin. Look for additional anti-inflammatory ingredients that pack power like Green Lipped Mussel (GLM). Be sure that the amount of these key ingredients is high too. It’s important to have proven levels.
