Treating Dog Arthritis with Natural
Supplements.
Mariangie Gonzalez
Dog arthritis is one of the most common
diseases that affect canines; especially large breed dogs
(60-90 lbs) the best thing you can do is to prevent the
occurrence of this disease with the appropriate supplements
when your dog is 4 or 5 years old and not wait until symptoms
show, but if your dog is already presenting symptoms and/or
pain you should consider the option of natural treatment for
your pet’s condition.
Osteoarthritis in dogs (or just dog arthritis) can be
treated effectively with natural supplements that are as
effective as commonly prescribed drugs and much safer because
of the less risk of side effects. Prescribed drugs may relieve
pain, but they also can cause further degeneration of your
dog's joints and health, which could include, damage to the
liver, kidneys, muscles and gastrointestinal bleeding, among
others.
Just as human arthritis, dog arthritis tends to get worse
with age, and you can find some senior dog food formulas that
claim to contain glucosamine and chondroitin, both of them are
supplements used to prevent and treat dog arthritis, but in the
majority of cases, the amount included is not enough to do any
difference in your dog’s symptoms. So, probably the best option
is to feed your dog regular dog food and back that up with a
supplement. Below you will find some of the most effective
supplement used for the treatment of arthritis in dogs.

joint support formulations available today, it includes
Glucosamine HCl, MSM and Vitamins B1, B2, B6 and C, along with
a proprietary herbal blend of Yucca, Devil's Claw, White
Willow, Meadowsweet and Alfalfa.
Glucosamine is essential for the formation of joint cartilage
and synovial fluid, MSM, has an anti-inflammatory effect slows
the progression of arthritis and relieves pain.
Alfalfa and Yucca:
A combination of five time-honored herbs for chronic rheumatic
conditions it also includes Burdock, Licorice, and Shepherd's
Purse. This extract is designed to help the body cope with the
pain, swelling, and stiffness of arthritis and rheumatism while
