NationalPetPharmacy.com, a full-service pet pharmacy with a selection of pet meds, vitamins and wellness products, have offered some tips to help reduce the signs of arthritis in pets. Those tips include using joint supplements such as glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate and Omega-3 fatty acids.
Omega-3 fatty acids, found in high concentrations in fish oils and flaxseed, have been shown to help control joint inflammation and reduce the activity of destructive joint enzymes. Omega-3 fatty acid supplementation will out-compete arachidonic acid, thereby reducing the amount of destructive joint inflammation.
"Unfortunately, there is no single magic cure for arthritis and joint pain in pets," said Dr. Alex Molldrem. "The most effective treatment plan typically involves a combination of weight management, nutritional supplements, dietary changes, and prescription medications."
