Pets, like people, are susceptible to arthritis as they age. To help your pet age gracefully, here are a few tips to relieve arthritis pain in your animals.
Get your pet out for regular exercise. This does not have to be intense or very long, but a quick walk around the block every day, or a half hour chasing toys around the room will help keep your pet’s muscles strong enough to support aging joints. Maintaining the proper weight of your pet is important as well, as it will reduce stress on their joints.
Omega 3 fatty acids should be a part of your pet’s diet (and probably yours as well!). These fatty acids are a great anti-inflammatory which can ease the pain of arthritis. Feed Dr Gary’s Best Breed Dog or Cat food, which contains the Green Lipped Sea Mussel. Green Lipped Sea Mussels are a natural source of Glucosamine, Chondroitin and MSM. These are helpful in keeping your pet’s joints healthy.
