Within the Unites States there are 68 million dogs that are afflicted with arthritis or hip dysplasia, this is equivalent to approximately 60% of the dog population. Numerous arthritis and hip dysplasia treatments are available today. Please feel free to peruse our online Dog Arthritis Forums and Pet Arthritis Article section to research your best arthritis and hip dysplasia treatment options.
The debilitating and crippling effects of arthritis is a very sad sight to see in animals. They cannot tell us how they actually feel or whether the medications are really helping them.
What we can do is try to give them help with tried and proven articles such as harnesses and items that can alleviate pain and take weight off of their hurting sections.
Many of these help aids work by actually reducing weight on areas of our animal.
Many supplements are also helpful such as glucosamine and Chondroitin. We give acupuncture.
As our dogs get older and become "seniors" we have to take care of them the same way as we would take care of ourselves. Constant observation can detect whether animals are starting to feel pain. We have to be aware of any changes in either diet or activity and confront them immediately.
Many of our products are made specifically to reduce pain and give our wonderful fur children a better life as they age. |
