NATURAL TREATMENTS FOR CANINE ARTHRITIS (CANINE ARTHRITIS SUPPLEMENT)

Glucosamine ?Safe for both dogs and cats. Made from shellfish. The pet抯 body produces natural glucosamine but when cartilage damage gets to be too much the pet抯 body cannot produce enough. Glucosamine supplements are readily available at pet stores without a prescription. Some dog foods will contain glucosamine but some studies suggest it will not contain enough.

Chondroitin sulfate ?Also available as a dietary supplement without a prescription. This product effectively reduces pain but does not lubricate the joints like glucosamine.

Omega fatty acids ?Used to reduce inflammation. They also work to reduce pain and swelling.
