Arthritis Treatment for Dogs Author: Robert Palmer
Storm and I were best friends from the
day I found him abandoned and covered with ticks. About 6 years ago,
however, our playtime became a burden to Storm instead of fun. He
developed arthritis. The symptoms began with general slowing down of
his movements. Then it became harder for him to move because of
stiffness in his joints. He had trouble getting up and climbing
stairs.
I took Storm to the vet and was disappointed with the arthritis
treatments for dogs that were available. The vet suggested giving
Storm aspirin for the pain. That did work for a while, but it didn't
fix the problem. It just hid it. I stopped giving Storm aspirin after
he almost died from taking it! He contracted a very serious intestinal
infection. This almost tragic event sparked my desire to find a safe
arthritis treatment for dogs. I wanted to find an arthritis treatment
for dogs that didn't just cover up the problem, but actually helped. I
found a product called Syn-flex Liquid Glucosamine that claimed to be
an
arthritis treatment for dogs. I ordered a bottle and started to
give it to Storm.
The first thing I liked about this arthritis treatment for dogs was
that it was easy to give. It came with a built-in measuring spout. All
I had to do was measure it out and pour it over his food once a day.
Storm didn't even notice that I had put it on his food. He didn't mind
the taste at all. The best thing about this arthritis treatment for
dogs was that it didn't really have any side effects, which was a
relief after the scary events with the aspirin.
Storm started to show improvement in about a month. The slowness that
he had been experiencing improved and he was able to get around much
easier. The stiffness also improved. Storm didn't struggle to get up
and could climb the stairs again. He wasn't a puppy, but Storm and I
could continue to make our trips to the park. In fact, we continued to
play (although more slowly) until he passed away from old age at 15,
which is quite an old age considering that Storm was a large dog. I
gave him the glucosamine arthritis treatment for dogs every day and
that probably helped him live a longer, healthier, more fulfilling
life.
Thousands of our customers have had the same experience with their
arthritic dogs as I did with Storm. Liquid glucosamine can't be beat
as an arthritis treatment for dogs.
What makes liquid glucosamine work so well? The main reason that
glucosamine is a well accepted and effective arthritis treatment for
dogs is that it works without negative side effects! Glucosamine is
not only an accepted arthritis treatment for dogs, but for humans as
well. The ease of administering glucosamine makes dog owners feel at
ease that they are giving the treatment correctly and makes it easier
to stick with the treatment. Dogs either don't notice the taste of the
glucosamine, or don't mind the taste. Out of the thousands of
customers using glucosamine as their arthritis treatment for dogs,
only one has reported that their dog refused to eat food with the
glucosamine poured on it.
When I began to search for a treatment for Storm's arthritis, I didn't
want something that would just cover over the problem as it continued
to get worse. Many anti-inflammatory, and sometimes dangerous, drugs
do just hide the pain while allowing the arthritis to worsen. Using
glucosamine as an arthritis treatment for dogs does not hide the pain.
It works by actually rebuilding and regenerating joint tissue.
Glucosamine helps repair the damage that arthritis causes to joints.
Most dogs, and people, will suffer from arthritis to some degree as
they get older. Because of this, we recommend giving your dog
glucosamine starting with the second half of their lives because this
is the time of life when arthritis begins to set in and start to cause
damage. Giving liquid glucosamine is so easy and effective as an
arthritis treatment for dogs that it just makes sense to stop the pain
arthritis can cause before it happens.
