By Geraldine Dimarco


Are you noticing something strange with your beloved dog nowadays? Perhaps his mobility has decreased, and he is not as fun-loving and active as he once was. Does he seem reluctant to being touched and petted? If this rings true for your pet, then it may be that he is suffering from canine arthritis. Find effective ways on how to alleviate dog joint pain in this helpful article today.

Human arthritis is similar to its canine counterpart. It is usually acquired through old age-wherein the years of the dog's active, and sometimes careless, lifestyle has caught up with him. Younger dogs sometimes become arthritic when they have sustained a blow in their legs. Sometimes it is also because they have skeletal deformities that led them to a kind of arthritis.

Arthritis is not a terminal disease; however, it is a condition that can be very painful for the victim. If you have a new dog, do not make the mistake of overfeeding him, or playing with him extreme sports. These put unnecessary stress on the canine's joints and will not be good for him in the long run. Now, if there is nothing you can do about it anymore-don't worry. You can avail of an excellent dog arthritis treatment for your dog's present state.

Before you attempt to cure your dog of his distressing state, it is imperative that you obtain an accurate diagnosis of his actual condition. Some of the symptoms of arthritis are the same with some canine diseases and may need another form of therapy to treat it right. Have a licensed vet examine your dog thoroughly.

If your pet is indeed experiencing arthritis, then he will probably have to take non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs. These are used together with a supplement or a fluid modifier, hindering the progress of arthritis in the body of the dog. There are several kinds of NSAIDs and are generally safe; however, there are some reported cases wherein particular dogs do not respond well to it.

A natural dog arthritis treatment is also often used to relieve pain, as well as offset the degenerative effects of arthritis. Herbs like alfalfa, yucca and stinging nettles are good for detoxification, pain relief, and aid in restoration of weakened joints and connective tissues. Boost their immune system with vitamin C and E so that they can effectively combat infections that may aggravate any health concerns they might have.

Bear in mind that although extreme sports are harmful for the animal suffering from arthritis, it is still very important that he exercises regularly. This will ensure that he maintains his ideal weight and furthermore, the increased mobility enhances lubrication to critical areas of his body. Relieve dog joint pain by also massaging olive oil to the affected area.

It's a great thing to have your best friend healthy and happy waiting for you at home. Give him the best care you know how and enjoy many more happy years ahead!
