My Dog has Arthritis....what can I do?
Understanding the Arthritic Dog
By: Dr. Jane Bicks
Common in older large dogs, long-backed dogs such as Daschunds, small dogs
known for knee problems, and after orthopedic surgery, the symptoms of
arthritis in dogs are similar to those in humans.
Stiffness, limping, problems getting up, crying when the painful areas are
touched, and reluctance to run or walk are
symptoms of canine arthritis.
As always, your veterinarian should be the one to diagnose it.
To help alleviate the pain and perhaps slow the ongoing progression of this
disease, you can do the following:
- Keep the dog in a warm area, sleeping on a water bed or heating pad.
- Encourage small/moderate amounts of exercise.
- Keep his weight normal!
Here are some more ideas on
prevention of canine arthritis.
Go here for an online chart to see if your dog is overweight:
Tippy's Chart
- Feed a high-quality professional food.
- Supplement with alfalfa (See Below)
- Give an omega 3 supplement
- Supplement with Ester C (See Below)
- Supplement with shark cartilage (follow manufacturers recommendation)
Now, I want to tell you about several products I have developed.
First, is Agility.
Agility has glucosamine HCI, MethylSulfonylMethan (MSM), perna canaliculis
(sea mussels), calcium phosphate, powdered cellulose, liver powder, hydrolyzed
vegetable acid, yucca schidigera, dehydrated alfalfa, boswellia, fish oil,
stearic acid, silicon dioxide, magnesium stearate.
Agility was specially formulated for large breed and long backed dogs (of
any age), senior cats (over 10 years) and senior dogs (over 6 years).
It is also recommended for pets suffering from mobility loss, stiffness and
joint pain.
Did you know that the most commonly recommended treatments for these
symptoms typically are steroids, anti-inflammatory drugs, or consequin.
Steroids and the anti-inflammatory drugs also carry various medical
disadvantages such as pancreatic disease, diabetes, and liver disease to name
a few.
Consequin is a one-dimensional formula that contains glucosamine only. The
problem with Consequin is that it does not address joints and surrounding
tissue. Plus Consequin can be very expensive.
There is a Safe & Effective Alternative!
My formula is a Powerful Nutritional product which supports the biochemical
functions necessary for healthy bones and joints in your pet.
Agility is Safer for your pet because it is an All Natural supplement that
delivers special nutrients and herbs to the joints, bones and surrounding
tissue.

pet:

My Daily Nutritional Supplement also contains alfalfa and Ester C,
two very important ingredients for dogs with arthritic type problems.
In recent years, alfalfa has become a minor folk remedy for rheumatoid
arthritis. Alfalfa is an antioxidant rich herb that supports healthy joint
tissue by fighting free radicals which are highly reactive chemicals that
worsen joint problems.
Ester C is a neutral vitamin C which is not upsetting to the stomach, is
chelated for easy absorption and is assimilated by any body chemistry the dog
may have.
If your dog or cat suffers from:
Mobility loss
Stiffness or lameness
Joint Pain
Wobbly gait
Difficulty in going up or down steps
Difficulty in rising
Then I highly recommend you taking a look at my Agility.
If your pet is also eating my Life's Abundance food, you should see a
difference within a few short weeks.

Tippy Says:
Tippy is a living testimony that the Agility works. She used get up after
lying down and "bunny-hop" around on 3 legs for awhile until the
lameness went away......Not too impressive when trying to chase the
cows.....the cows were making fun of her and Tippy didn't like that one little
bit!!!
But...after putting Tippy on the Life's Abundance food and Agility
supplement.....within three weeks time Tippy began getting up much, much more
Quickly and hasn't limped around one time since!
Tippy is 12 and a half and now has the energy of dogs half her age. She now
has no problems getting up....she starts off running very quickly, and easily
jumps up into Dave's big truck. And Tippy just loves to ride in the
truck.....plus the cows no longer make fun of her!
