Treating Joint Pain in Dogs Correctly

Recognise joint problems in dogs early and promote their joy of movement.
Many dog owners suddenly notice, usually without warning, visible abnormalities in their animals' gait or posture. These are often early signs of joint wear that can lead to lasting restrictions. The affected dogs get up with difficulty in the morning, want to go for walks less often and show little joy in sporting activities. Climbing stairs or jumping into the car also becomes noticeably harder. In such cases, quick action is important in order to support mobility.
How does joint pain develop in dogs?
To take active steps against joint problems, it is important to know how they develop. In most cases the complaints go back to cartilage wear, in which the joint cartilage recedes unnoticed. At an advanced stage, the cartilage can no longer fulfil its important role as a shock absorber. Cartilage protects the joints from friction and impacts that arise with every movement. If the cartilage mass decreases, bone rubs on bone, which considerably affects normal mobility.
Causes of the decline in cartilage mass
Various factors can be responsible for the decline in cartilage. The natural ageing process as well as a one-sided diet over many years can play a role. Genetic factors, too, frequently lead to premature joint wear. An optimal supply of the joints and the vertebral bodies with special joint nutrients can achieve very good results here. A supplement is also recommended as a preventive measure, so that the dog stays active into old age.
The role of important joint nutrients
Certain nutrients have proven particularly effective in animal health for maintaining joint function:
- Glucosamine: Supports the flow properties of the joint fluid and promotes the balance between the build-up and breakdown of cartilage tissue.
- Collagen: This structural protein gives the connective tissue as well as the ligaments and tendons stability. It is indispensable for the regeneration of the cartilage.
- MSM: The natural sulphur compound supports the formation of joint lubrication and helps to intercept free radicals in the joint.
