As our four-legged friends age it is our role as loving dog owners to ensure our dogs maintain joint health by providing optimum care. So what does this look like in reality?
In our latest blog Scientific Nutritional Products takes a look…
Exercise
Maintaining a regular and appropriate exercise schedule for your dog is essential to their well-being. As they age our dogs may need to reduce the intensity of their walks for example taking shorter walks on flatter or softer surfaces. This may mean walking your dog at the park rather than on the roads and going for shorter, regular walks rather than being spontaneous with those longer outings. These changes will support their joints enabling our dogs’ joints to be more supple and mobile thus promoting their overall health and movement.
Diet
Health comes from the inside out and so what you feed your dog is vitally important. Many dog feeds contain cheap filler ingredients so reading up on what is included in your dog food gives you a critical insight in to what nutrients it provides. Dogs require adequate levels of quality protein alongside fats and oils to promote joint health. The dog food provided to your canine friend should also, alongside carbohydrate for energy, contain vital vitamins and minerals. Canine Joint Right from Scientific Nutritional Products contains Glucosamine, Chondroitin, HA, MSM & DHA Omega-3 Oils offering the ultimate package to support your dog's joint mobility.are at Home
Older dogs and those with stiffer joints require a comfortable place to rest. Ideally a supportive dog bed should be placed somewhere warm to aid joint health and comfort.
If you have more than one dog or children in the house it is important to ensure dogs with joint stiffness are able to receive the rest they need. Some dogs struggle with the slippery surfaces of a wooden or tiled floor so placing rugs or having a carpeted floor can also help.
If your dog is struggling with issues such as discomfort after walks, difficulty jumping into the car or the tackling stairs and is looking stiffer and less mobile then contact Scientific Nutritional Products today and find out more about Canine Joint Right
Our premium dog joint supplement can give them the ingredients they need to optimise their mobility and prevent joint stiffness holding them back from enjoying day to day quality of life!
