Glucosamine For Dogs With Arthritis

Have you noticed your older dog having trouble
climbing stairs or jumping onto or off of the
furniture lately? If so, it could be that your
four-legged friend is suffering from what is
called dog osteoarthritis. Canines are
vulnerable to the same type of joint disease
that often attacks humans in their older age.
Glucosamine for dogs has been found to
significantly help those canine suffering from
this debilitating joint disease.

Although it is not possible to cure or stop the
progression of joint arthritis in dogs, it is
possible to ease the symptoms and decrease the
amount of pain the canines suffer from due to
the degeneration of joint tissue. One of the
best and all-natural supplementation products
that are widely used by pet owners is
glucosamine for dogs. People use the same type
of glucosamine to treat their arthritic symptoms
also.

As our pets age, the joint tissue that helps
prevent the balls in the sockets in the joints
from rubbing together begins to degenerate. This
in fact is the definition for osteoarthritis. As
the degeneration progresses, the bones may be
allowed to actually touch and rub together which
in turn causes pain. This painful condition is
the result of the many nerve endings with in the
bone tissue itself that causes the pain. Many
people do not realize that bones are in fact
living tissue and contain countless nerve
endings which are highly sensitive when rub
together.

If the disease is allowed to progress and the
degeneration continues and becomes more severe
and causes more pain to the canines. Glucosamine
for dogs actually provides the body with the
necessary building blocks which it uses to
repair and restore this cartilage tissue that is
been damaged by the joint disease. And because
this building process takes some time, the
benefits of using glucosamine for dogs are not
always seen immediately. Actually, the process
of regeneration can take anywhere from several
weeks to several months before benefits are seen
from using the dog glucosamine.

It's very important for pet owners to understand
that the supplementation process has to be
continued long enough in order to see results.
Too many people begin giving the dog the
glucosamine for several weeks and then
discontinue it when they do not see any positive
benefits. When in fact, the glucosamine for dogs
was working behind the scenes and allowing the
body to take those building blocks to repair and
rebuild the cartilage tissue which protects the
bones in the joints.

It depends on the breed of dog and also the
severity of the disease as to how long it will
take before the supplement product begin showing
positive effects. Only in very few cases are
there no positive effects seen after using the
glucosamine for dogs for several months. In
almost all cases there will be some positive
benefits associated with using the
supplementation. Some breeds may show miraculous
results in only a few weeks. Other dogs may take
several months to see only minor results.
Nonetheless, it's very important that a dog
owner understands that there is a building
process occurring within the joints and as with
any bodily process this can take time.

Glucosamine for dogs can be purchased in the
liquid form which makes it very easy for owners
to simply pour over the dogs feed at meal time.
Whether the animal is fed a drive food or a
canned food, the liquid supplement of
glucosamine can simply be poured onto the food
and the dog be allowed to eat the food along
with the glucosamine. This is much simpler than
trying to do the supplementation by giving the
dog pills or tablets.
