Hip and Joint Chews

There can be numerous factors contributing to joint issues: 

• Cartilage degeneration: A genetic predisposition to malformation of the joints, such as hip dysplasia 

• Poor nutrition: High calorie carbohydrate-based diets can cause the body to grow faster than the cartilage does, inducing cartilage deficits 

• Obesity: Being overweight can cause stress on joints 

• Autoimmune diseases: The pet’s body attacks its own joints 

• Infectious diseases: Bacterial infections in the joints can trigger degeneration, as well as tick borne infections that spread to the joints 

• Trauma (known or unknown) 

Warning signs in animals 

• Difficulty standing from a sitting or lying position. Moving slowly or stiffly 

• Shying away, whimpering or crying out when touched 

• Sleeping more than usual or seeming less “with it” 

• Weight gain from a decrease in daily physical activity such as grooming in the case of cats 

• Favoring a limb 

• Reluctance to jump, run or climb stairs 

• Eliminating outside the litter box or no longer covering his urine or feces 

• Muscle wasting in the legs 

Adding supplements to your pet’s diet can provide the raw materials for joint support and maintenance
