Canine Arthritis Medication Information

If your pet is suffering from canine arthritis, I
am so glad you found this article! First of all,
be aware there is no cure for the joint disease
and almost all dogs suffer from it to some
degree as they age. Large breed dogs, because of
their added weight and stress on their joints,
suffer from the effects more than small breed
animals.

Unfortunately, one of the first things a vet
will do when a canine has been diagnosed with
osteoarthritis is to prescribe one of the common
arthritic drugs for dogs. As a friend to your
dog, you need to be aware that these can be
dangerous for him or her. Not only have many bad
side effects been known to occur, there have also
been many reported deaths. Simply do a search for
the brand of drug the vet prescribed and include
the phrase side effects or the work dangers with
the drug in the search. You will see many
instances of problems associated with the drug.

One alternative to canine arthritis medication
is giving your dog glucosamine supplements.
These have been used for years by vets in the
know and who are willing to actually address the
problem long term and not just mask the pain. The
glucosamine actually helps rebuild and regenerate
the damage inside the joints caused by the
arthritis disease. It in no way acts as a
dangerous pain killer as do the prescribed
canine arthritis medications.

There are virtually no side effects associated
with the usage of glucosamine for treating dog
osteoarthritis. It is completely safe and
natural and has no problems with long term
usage. The only issue is that it does not work
right away for the dog's pain. It can take
several weeks to several months depending on the
severity of the joint disease and the breed of
dog. Although most dogs respond to some degree,
not all do. However, in some cases some dogs
respond exceptionally well to it. We have heard
some really miraculous stories of dogs will
almost complete recoveries from the
disease…at least for a while any way.

As we stated earlier, there is no cure for dog
arthritis. But as the canine arthritis
medication simply hides the pain, the
glucosamine supplement can actually add several
years of quality life to your dog's age as it
helps to keep the joints as healthy as possible.
Remember that when first using the glucosamine to
treat the symptoms of arthritis, it can take a
while to see good results. Do not give up! One
of the worst things you could do is quit using
the safe and inexpensive products too soon
before you see the benefit it can give your dog.
Always buy at least a 3 month supply and commit
to giving your dog the supplement for that long
at least to see how he or she responds.
