Dogs and Arthritis
More and more often these days, both holistic and allopathic veterinarians are seeing dog patients that are suffering the ravages of arthritic conditions, ranging from very minor problems, to the dog requiring surgery for replacements of hips and knee joints.
What, you may ask, is causing some of these problems, and why now more than before has it become so massively prevalent?
Simply and delicately put, the owners are frequently responsible for the cause of the initial problems. If a dog does not get a proper, well balanced diet, and instead gets a diet that is high in sodium, fat, sugar, and cholesterol, it is likely that the result will be an unhappy, overweight dog.
When there is unnecessary pressure put on the dog’s body, joints, and bones, the result is painful arthritic conditions. If you maintain your dog’s weight at a healthy level, provide an adequate amount of exercise that does not put undue stress or pressure on the dog’s body, do not allow the dog to jump or do repetitive activities that will cause pain or injury, your dog will be less likely to suffer the ravages of arthritic conditions.
If it should happen that your dog has a condition that has required surgery, or has undergone an operation as a result of a bone break, the chances are increased that the dog may sooner or later, develop an arthritic condition at the site of the injury. This is unavoidable even with precautions.
Be vigilant to offer your dogs quality dog treats, natural herbs and homeopathic remedies and even functional treats that are specifically designed to offer your dog’s joints assistance in repairing and and rejuvinating cartilage.
