Article From SubmitYOURArticle.com: How To Choose a Good Remedy For Dog Arthritis

One of the very common questions vets get is what
are the arthritis remedies for dogs that are both
safe and work well in dealing with arthritis in
aging dogs. Pet owners who believe the onset of
this disease should seek their vet's suggestions
right away.

It's extremely common for older canines to
develop joint arthritis as they become older.
This is also true in the very large breed canines
who support more weight and thus have additional
stress on their joints. The arthritis remedies
for dogs involve either prescribed meds or
natural supplement products to help deal with
this disease.

Although the prescribed drugs are very effective
in immediately handling stiffness and joint pain
and canines they also can have very significant
and extremely dangerous ill effects. A vet
should describe the issues when using drugs to
treat osteo-arthritis. Pet owners should be very
aware and on the lookout for these negative
effects as many of these can lead to
life-threatening circumstances when not handled
correctly.

Other arthritis remedies for dogs involve using
100% natural supplements such as glucosamine.
Not only are these products very safe and without
dangerous consequences to the pet they are also
quite inexpensive compared to alternative drugs
available. Also, glucosamine in the liquid form
is extremely easy to provide to canines. The
only thing that's required is pouring the natural
supplement over their dog's food during meal time.

Although there is no way to get rid of
osteoarthritis it can be managed to some extent
and offer the dog relief from this joint disease.
The prescribe medications can oftentimes get rid
of the pain immediately while a natural
supplement acts to create stronger and healthier
joints for the long-term. The positive effects
of using glucosamine are often not seen for
several weeks and up to two or three months. The
benefit however is that the pain is not just
masked over and that true healing is allowed to
take place within the joint which results in pain
relief.

Of all the arthritis pain remedies available to
treat canine arthritis the natural products
should be tried first since they are less
expensive and far safer. Only after several
months without positive effects should the more
expensive and possibly dangerous alternatives be
tried with your pet.

A few of the remedies used to treat your dog's
joint osteo-arthritis will cause your canine's
older years much more happy and far more healthy
when suffering from the joint disease.
