Additional Information:
Pets face many of the same issues as humans. Many pet foods are over processed and have little nutritive value. Dogs and cats breathe in the same pollution as we do, inhaling harmful free radicals.
Healthy nutrition benefits the whole body, including muscles, ligaments, tendons, and joints. Antioxidants are especially good for helping to maintain joint health, and there are some nutrient supplements such as glucosamine and certain vitamins and minerals, which are specifically used to aid joint health.
There is more cancer and chronic illness reported in dogs than in any other time in history, and the numbers are rising. Acclaimed veterinarian, Dr. Richard Pitcairn has been in practice since 1965 and has seen it with his own eyes, “When I first graduated, if there was a large dog like a Labrador or German Shepherd, those dogs were expected to live to be around 15, 16 years of age. Now, veterinarians tell their clients that they’re old at 7.” An increase in the use of drugs, steroids, vaccines, pollution and poor nutrition have all been blamed. Dr. Pitcairn also states that Commercial foods, though chemically balanced, have the disadvantage of often using rejects from the human food industry. In addition, it is processed at a high temperature under steam pressure and this may damage some of the fragile nutrients and change proteins so they are more likely to stimulate allergies.
An estimated 14 million dogs suffer from joint problems, which is the sixth-leading cause for which dog owners seek veterinary treatment for their pets.
Approximately 25-30% of dogs and cats suffer from arthritis. Broadly described by most veterinarians as DJD (degenerative joint disease), arthritis in pets is just as painful and debilitating as it is in humans. Below is a list of the different types of arthritis your pet may have.
These are great dog vitamins and cat vitamins that help with pet asthma, allergies and pet joints. See our other pages for PetHealth dog shampoo, medicated dog shampoo and hypoallergenic dog shampoo.
