2 Shredded

When pet blog browsing, I came across a post including a “joint rescue” product available at AmericasNutrition.com . Before even reading into the product, it got me thinking about my own animals and how I view their health (maybe I should say how I should start to view their health) Aging has always been something to accept, not defeat, as my dogs have always seemed self-sufficient in terms of health. Signs of aging, specifically joint-related issues, affect them greatly, but I have always felt helpless in the matter. After reading into the product, I decided to sit back and reflect on how signs of aging have affected the lives of my pets and my relationships with them, along with what I can do to better ensure proper health. If you dog-owning readers are anything like my mom, then the site of a K-9 jumping on the family couch evolves into a, "Get down from there!" almost immediately. No one wants to sit on a cushion of shedded fur or fall through the couch via fabric holes created by the unknowing pup's nails. Decent logic, I suppose, unless you're looking for a furry cuddle buddy, which is usually my case. (Just wait until Mom leaves the room!) But what happens when the dog wants to get onto the couch, yet he or she physically can't do it? Not only do you have to suffer through the whimpers and big, dough eyes looking up from the discomfort of the floor, but you realize that the dog's mobility is decreasing. That tends to be where my mom's sympathy kicks in, and she goes from blockading the couch to actually picking up the dog to help him or her jump on. Although the story ends with a gleaming dog on a couch thrown, I now view the victory as a harsh reality reminder that my dog is aging. And maybe sympathy isn't the key to helping them... Just like people, pets everywhere endure the irritating signs of what we like to call 'aging'. Less energy, less mobility, cartilage deterioration, hip dysplasia...should I go on? And, just like with people, these symptoms can either be tolerated or treated. Although pets cannot speak and describe their discomfort, their actions, or lack thereof, can speak much louder than words. But can these dreadful signs of joint deterioration and arthritic symptoms be treated naturally? I think so. With the proper supplementation of Glucosamine and Chondroitin, your dog will by flying over couches and up the stairs in no time. Miracle treatment? Maybe, but the science behind it should be accounted for too. Glucosamine and Chondroitin, naturally occurring substances in the body, help to synthesize new cartilage and block negative, cartilage-killing enzymes in the joints, respectively. Not only can an increase of these substances in the body help to aid and relieve already existing pain and joint destruction, an increase can also be given as a preventative measure in younger dogs. Okay, Okay, so you're wondering why these types of supplements haven't been flooding veterinary clinics and pet aisles all over the country if they work so well... Unfortunately, Despite Europe performing multiple controlled experiments that revealed how beneficial these substances can really be, the U.S. refrained as the substances are considered to be 'nutraceuticals', which are not strictly controlled by the FDA. But according to the Glucosamine & Chondroitin for Hip Dysplasia & Arthritis in Dogs article on peteducation.com, many U.S. companies are now producing product lines consisting of Glucosamine and Chondroitin and several research studies to bring these magical substances to the surface! Not only issued by veterinarians, one can also retrieve these types of supplements at natural health stores or online retailers like the one mentioned. So the next time you are reminded of how old your canine friend is, consider the options you have to bring back their youthful charisma instead of just helping your dog up onto the couch. : )
