By Patrick Lewis


When they come to a certain age, especially if they are overweight, dogs may have problems with arthritis, just as people. It can be really painful, and it's not something they can deal with without your help and support. Finding the best natural arthritis pain relief for dogs is possible, and it takes just a little effort and love. And your lovely furry friend surely deserves it.

First, you can use various vitamin and mineral supplements to make your pet's life easier. Those that contain glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate and MSM combine pain relief effect with anti inflammatory properties. Of course, you should consult a good vet about it, and if you don't have one already, find one. He will help you decide about the best treatment for your furry friend.

Excess weight has a leading role here. Put your dog on a diet, in case he has a few pounds too many. Relieving pressure from inflamed joints will have welcome effect on pains. Omega 3 supplements are also highly beneficial. They have numerous qualities. Besides having anti-inflammatory effect, Omega 3 supplements also lubricate your dog's joints, speeding up his recovery.

Supplements containing high levels of valuable anti oxidants and enzymes are also highly valuable. Besides having beneficial effect on their health in general, they will also improve his immune system and make his body stronger and healthier in a long run. Some of these products have additional properties, for example, cherry flavonoids. They are great for strengthening collagen structures in joint's connective tissues.

There are several plants that can also be used for this purpose, for example turmeric. This simple plant is also great for promoting joint mobility. Some essential oils have beneficial effect on painful areas. If you love your dog, it shouldn't be so hard to spend a few minutes a day massaging his poor joints with some good essential oil, he probably more than deserves that.

If you have an opportunity to take your furry pet to a pool, you should do it. Swimming is great for painful joints, because the poor animal can move easier in the water. Of course, the water should not be cold, because arthritis could get worst in this case. Some vet clinics provide warm water treatments for arthritic animals, and these treatments might be really useful.

Another thing you could try if you get an opportunity is acupuncture. This ancient medicine technique is proven to be highly effective when it comes to arthritis pains and healing. Although your dog will feel better right away, it will take a few weeks to see the first real results there, and to see the real improvement in your pet's mobility.

So, some things you can actually do to make your pet's life easier. He should not suffer. Help him lose excess weight, provide good quality food, buy some supplements and consult your vet about the appropriate doses. If it is needed, take him to a pool or give him a massage. This lovely animal was always a good friend, and deserves to be treated as one.
