How do you recognize osteoarthritis in your dog and what can you do as an owner?

Did you know that approximately 20% of dogs suffer from joint problems? This manifests as joint pain and mobility issues. One of the most common problems is osteoarthritis.

What is osteoarthritis?

Before you can recognize the symptoms, it’s important to understand what osteoarthritis is. Osteoarthritis is common in dogs; it’s a wear and tear of the joints that causes pain during movement. Osteoarthritis causes the cartilage surrounding the bones to wear away, causing the bones to rub against each other.

Unfortunately, there are sometimes misunderstandings about when osteoarthritis can develop in a dog. Not everyone knows that a dog can develop joint problems as early as one year old. This isn’t the stereotypical “old dog” mentality. The condition is very common: one in five dogs suffers from osteoarthritis. It’s quite possible that your dog is in the early stages of osteoarthritis, but you haven’t noticed it yet.

How to recognize osteoarthritis in your dog

The telltale signs of osteoarthritis in your dog are often in the early stages of movement. Has your four-legged friend just slept soundly and wants to get up, but it’s difficult? Or does your dog walk stiffly and with difficulty during the first few minutes of a walk? These could be signs of early osteoarthritis. As osteoarthritis progresses, your dog will have more difficulty going up and down stairs, walking long distances, jumping in the car, or even becoming less inclined to go outside.

Supporting osteoarthritis

Do you suspect your dog might have osteoarthritis? Or do you want to prevent it now while it’s still possible? There are ways to delay the onset of osteoarthritis as long as possible and ease the discomfort and pain.

Many supplements contain glucosamine or chondroitin, but this is now outdated. We’ve developed the Mobility+ nutritional supplement specifically for your four-legged friend. Its unique and natural ingredients promote natural repair of the cartilage and synovial fluid around the joints. It strengthens the ligaments and tendons and lubricates the joints.

In addition, this nutritional supplement contains a nutrient known to be a powerful antioxidant and positively influence various (un)desirable bodily processes. Thanks to the unique formula of Mobility+, you can give your dog a great deal of pleasure and save money at the same time.

By combining the best of science with the best of nature, we hope to ensure a carefree and pain-free life for your dog.

Note!

Always consult a veterinarian should concerns about your dog’s health persist. There is a difference between cure and prevention/support.
