Although, all dogs can develop hip and joint issues, it’s typically older, larger breed and/or overweight dogs that have these concerns. That’s why a high quality diet supported by high quality treats that contain the following are so important:
- Omega-3 fatty acids - helps reduce inflammation around joints and manage pain.
- Glucosamine - is a natural compound in cartilage that helps support and cushion joints and bones.
- Chondroitin - can prevent cartilage breaking down and can also stimulate its repair mechanisms
- Turmeric - is a flowering plant in the ginger family and is a fat-soluble antioxidant with sensational anti-inflammatory properties.
In addition, to high quality treats and diet, regularly playing with your furr-iend is a great way to help them maintain a healthy weight throughout their life … plus it’s loads of fun!
