The Best Natural Arthritis Pain Relief For Dogs

By Patrick Lewis


When they come to a certain age, especially if they are overweight, dogs may have problems with arthritis, just as people. It can be really painful, and it's not something they can deal with without your help and support. Finding the best natural arthritis pain relief for dogs is possible, and it takes just a little effort and love. And your lovely furry friend surely deserves it.

So, you can start with different supplements. For example, those containing chondroitin and glucosamine, as well as MSM. These substances act reducing the pain and having an anti inflammatory effect. Any good vet will probably prescribe such supplements for animal suffering from arthritis, because such supplements are proven by different medical studies. They bring pain relief and promote healing.

If your pet is overweight, it might be too much for his poor joints. With just a few pounds less, he would probably feel much better. Omega 3 supplements will help him lose a few pounds, they will improve his joints' lubrication and reduce inflammatory processes. This will also ease his pains and have generally good effect on his health.

There are some other supplements you can use to help the poor animal. For example, different anti oxidants and enzymes will improve his health condition and have beneficial effect on his immune system. Anti oxidants play important role in keeping the organism healthy and strong. There are some other plants that can be highly useful, for example cherry. It contains flavonoids that are great for joint connective structures.

Turmeric is another great plant that can be used in fighting arthritis, both in human and dogs. This lovely plant promotes joint comfort and mobility. Massage with essential oils can be equally pleasant and beneficial for dogs as they are for people, and it won't take you too much time to make your pet's life easier. Make sure your pet has a soft pillow to sleep on, this will also ease his pains.

Swimming is the best thing you can do for painful joints. It is much easier to move while in water, but it should not be cold, of course. There are vet clinics that offer special treatments for dogs, that include swimming in warm water, and, if you can afford such treatment for your furry friend, maybe you should consider it. Warming the joint using IR lamp could also be quite useful.

Acupuncture is another idea you might find really useful. It is proven that acupuncture treatment bring relief from arthritis pains, but they can also promote blood circulation in the area surrounding the joint, and this might provide long-term effects, strengthening the tissues that support this painful part. It takes a few weeks to get the first good results, but it is worth it.

So, some things you can actually do to make your pet's life easier. He should not suffer. Help him lose excess weight, provide good quality food, buy some supplements and consult your vet about the appropriate doses. If it is needed, take him to a pool or give him a massage. This lovely animal was always a good friend, and deserves to be treated as one.
