Are Supplements a Better Choice for Treating Dog Arthritis Than Prescription Medications?

When you suspect your family pet may be showing
signs of developing osteoarthritis, it's very
important to take him or her to the veterinarian
for a complete and thorough diagnosis. The doctor
can determine whether or not the condition is a
simple strain or sprain, or if in fact the joint
disease is present in your pet.

Since there are no cures for dog arthritis pet
owners must rely on products and practices that
will ease the pain and suffering the disease
causes. Unfortunately, one of the first things
many veterinarians suggest are prescription
medications to treat the arthritic symptoms. The
use of these prescribed drugs often result in
almost immediate relief from the pain the
disease is causing. On the other hand, there
have been countless reports of side effects from
these drugs.

Many of the drugs in fact cause significant and
life-threatening conditions in the canine
suffering from dog arthritis. Unfortunately,
some of these side effects lead to the death of
the animal. Too many dogs have died as the
result of taking these prescribed drugs which
were supposed to offer pain relief from the
disease.

Hopefully, the veterinarian you take your pet to
will suggest first using all-natural supplement
products, such as liquid glucosamine, which have
virtually no side effects and have been shown to
be highly effective in treating joint arthritis
in canines. Although they do not offer immediate
relief from the pain as do the prescription
medications, they do offer the body the
necessary building blocks to repair and replace
the damaged cartilage tissue within the joints.

Glucosamine supplements is a long-term treatment
which requires several weeks to several months of
daily doses before any benefits are observed in
the animal. But since it actually addresses the
real issue of the disease, which is the
degeneration of cartilage tissue, many believe
it is a far wiser solution for treating dog
arthritis instead of risking the dangers of the
prescribed drugs.

If your veterinarian does not suggest using
liquid glucosamine as a first line of treatment,
ask him or her about the supplement product.
Fortunately, most veterinarians today are well
aware of the benefits glucosamine can offer
senior canines. The doctor's office may provide
the supplement or can be purchased at many
online retailers. Most pet owners prefer the
liquid version of glucosamine since it is far
easier to administer. However, there are pills
and tablets available for administering the
glucosamine supplement.
