The Dangers And Problems With Treating Osteo-Arthritis In Dogs

It always amazes me the numbers of people who
automatically accept their veterinarian's advise
for how to treat arthritis in dogs. Although
these doctors mean no harm, they too often
prescribed medications which have been shown to
cause significant and dangerous side effects in
many animals. Although these problems with
prescription canine arthritis treatments are
somewhat rare, they are significant enough that
pet owners should be extremely cautious and do
their own research concerning the drugs.

One issue that makes these medications so
popular that veterinarians prescribed is that
they are in fact quite effective. They do a very
good job in most animals in relieving joint pain
in easing the symptoms of common osteoarthritis
in canines. However, if these drugs were for
human consumption, they would most definitely be
banned by the FDA because of the high percentage
of problems associated with their use for
treating arthritis in dogs.

Although these drugs work quite well, the the
real issue with them is that they do not address
the root cause of the joint disease. They simply
act to get rid of and mask the pain which is
caused by the arthritis. Most dogs respond very
well to the drugs and their negative symptoms
are reduced almost immediately upon taking the
medicine. But the underlying issue, which is the
degeneration of joint tissue, is not addressed at
all by the prescription medications.

An alternative that more and more vets are
suggesting to pet owners for treating arthritis
and dogs is a natural supplementation product
called glucosamine. Not only does this product
works very well in lessening the pain of
arthritis and dogs, it is 100% safe and natural
and offers virtually no risk were side effects
to the animal. Glucosamine is a substance found
in nature that the body actually uses to form
the building blocks of joint cartilage tissue.
The disease of arthritis in dogs asked to
degenerate this cartilage tissue in the joints
and this is what causes the pain and discomfort
associated with the disease.

Besides the fact that glucosamine for dogs is
significantly cheaper then it's prescribed
counterparts, it asked to actually rebuild and
regenerate the damaged tissues with in the dog's
joints. Since the rebuilding process can take
some time, it is important for pet owners to
understand that the benefits of using
glucosamine to treat arthritis in dogs are not
immediately seen and can take up to several
months of daily doses before increases in
mobility and decreases in pain are observed in
the canine.
