Joint Health in Dogs and Cats

With dogs that are at-risk for hip
dysplasia, it’s important that they get exercise to help slow the
progression of the condition, but avoid taking them for very long or fast walks.
Additionally, providing them with an orthopedic bed may help to make them more
comfortable when resting.

So, what is the
best way to address joint health issues? Dr. Jane suggests two complimentary
products to help both reduce body weight and improve joint health – using
an appropriate food, like Life’s Abundance Weight-Loss Formula, in tandem
with a supplement like Agility for Dogs and
Cats.

At present, there are several joint
formulas marketed for companion animals. Unfortunately, most of these products
treat the joint as an isolated goal; it is for this reason that they do not work
as well as they could. Agility
for Dogs and Cats is a holistic formula, which means that it takes
into account the needs of the whole body and all the parts that work with the
joints.

This formula contains optimal
levels of the nutrients necessary to help maintain healthy joint cartilage and
connective tissue, and to aid in the production of healthy synovial fluid, which
lubricates the joints. This supplement features Glucosamine and MSM, and is a
natural, holistic, multi-action joint support formula containing
scientifically-tested ingredients. 

Glucosamine helps maintain and
promote joint and connective tissue health. It has been shown to be essential in
the healthy development and ongoing maintenance of connective tissue and
synovial fluid. Research studies indicate that Glucosamine may promote joint
flexibility, mobility and lubrication, and may even play a role in rebuilding
cartilage.

Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is
a natural source of organic sulfur, an element vital to the maintenance of
healthy joints, bones, ligaments and tendons. This essential mineral may also
help increase energy and assist in the healthy maintenance of skin, hair and
nails.

Agility
for Dogs and Cats also contains Vitamins C and E, which are robust
sources of antioxidants that can promote immunity, cardiovascular health, skin
health, improved vision, dental health and may help to improve allergies. In
fact, there is evidence to support that Vitamin C may play an important role in
the development and maintenance of connective
tissue.

These ingredients work
synergistically with the many herbal ingredients well-known for their beneficial
health properties. Alfalfa and Yucca are antioxidant-rich herbs that offer a
strong defense against free-radical damage, helping to maintain joint comfort
and flexibility. The alfalfa not only works to help destroy the free radicals at
the joints, but it also enhances kidney and liver function, to facilitate waste
excretion from the bone. And Boswellia tree extract contains acids shown to
promote proper joint functioning.

Agility for Dogs and Cats also includes
high levels of Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids derived from fish oil to help
improve healthy joint function. These essential fatty acids produce hormone-like
substances known as prostaglandins. They are believed to have a positive effect
upon joint stiffness and fatigue, and may improve overall bone health.

The sea mussels included in this
supplement help to support healthy joint structure and function, as well as help
enhance the utilization and soothing properties of Glucosamine. These natural
nutrients have demonstrated effectiveness in improving lubrication, shock
absorption, flexibility, elasticity and strength of connective tissues. Sea
mussels also contain Chondroitin Sulfate, which works in tandem with
Glucosamine.

And last but not least, this
holistic formula has a delicious roast beef flavor that your furry friends will
love!

your companion animals and choose Agility
for Dogs and Cats. They’ll thank you for taking this important
step for their overall health, with every extra tail-wag and happy
meow.
