The Best Joint Supplements for Dogs

Dogs can get joint problems for a number of reasons. A common issue with older dogs is arthritis, just like humans. However, it's not just older dogs that need joint support. If you’re looking for a good all-round joint supplement for your dog at a decent price, then JointSure is a great place to start. If you’ve got a dog that isn’t a fan of taking tablets, then the liquid formula of this supplement “gravy” can be an easier way to administer supplements for your dog. The tablets have an added fish flavour to make them appealing to your dog, and you can sneak them into your dog’s food if they’re a little on the fussy side, but those who are particularly sensitive to tablets may benefit from some of the others on our list instead.

Reduced Activity - If your dog is less willing to engage in physical activities they once enjoyed, such as playing fetch or going for walks, it could be due to joint discomfort. Older dogs that are suffering from arthritis and other joint problems can find relief with joint supplements. Many senior dog foods will have some joint support included in the ingredients, but some dogs will need extra support. Joint care for dogs, in the form of supplements, is a good idea no matter how young your dog is, as this can keep their joints healthy for longer. Larger dogs are commonly known to be susceptible to joint problems, as well as some breeds, such as Staffordshire Bull Terriers and Labradors. Therefore, supplementing these breeds at a young age can be beneficial.

All these are signs that they have joint problems, and so would benefit from joint supplements for dogs. Reasons Your Dog May Need Joint Support This product can be a little costly, especially if you have a larger animal, but if you have a fussy dog, it might be worth the extra investment to avoid the stresses of trying to feed them tablets. Any size of dog can be treated with JointSure; you just change the dosage accordingly depending on the size of your pooch. The tablets can be crumbled into your dog’s normal food to sneak them into their diet without fuss, too. Maintaining a healthy weight . Excess fat puts extra pressure on joints and plays a huge role in the pain and inflammation associated with joint disease. Keep your dog slim (aiming for a 4 or 5 out of 9 on the Body Condition Score chart) from a young age. Diets such as our ‘ Slim & Slender ’ kibble can prove useful in keeping those extra pounds off. Avoiding obesity is critical when it comes to good mobility as carrying extra weight will exacerbate any underlying skeletal issue. Owners should be familiar with the ‘Body Condition Score’ and ensure their pet remains in the healthy range, particularly during their senior years. As a dog’s metabolism can slow as they get older and many will become less active, it can be sensible to change them on to a senior diet and to tailor their calories rather than feeding them the same amount they have been given since they were one year old. Treating any underlying medical issues promptly . Some conditions, such as hip dysplasia, can be corrected surgically at a young age. Similarly, those with issues such as ruptured cruciate ligaments should undergo the corrective surgery available if they are a suitable candidate.Although young dogs aren’t necessarily in need of as much joint care as older ones, everyday wellness is always a good idea.

That’s especially true for breeds where joint problems are a known problem, or breeds that are particularly active or jumpy. Do also ensure the supplement is in a form your dog will actually eat. Some dogs dislike fish flavours while others won’t take capsules. Our Pooch and Mutt Daily Joint Supplements are in tablet form and can be crushed or crumbled onto meals. They’re highly palatable and can even be given as a treat! It can be difficult to tell if your dog has a problem with their joints, so learning to spot the signs that all isn’t as it should be is an important habit to get into. Pay close attention to how they’re walking and their general comfort when engaging in high-impact activities. Again, if you’re at all concerned, speak to your vet for a full diagnosis.

So, should I be giving my dog dental sticks?

Adjunctive therapies such as acupuncture, massage and hydrotherapy play a huge role when it comes to supporting joints and minimising pain. Some insurance companies will even cover the cost of these beneficial procedures.
