Dog Arthritis Remedy

Weight loss is a huge remedy for decreasing arthritic pain in dogs. Weight loss relieves pain in dogs by decreasing the everyday stress on the joints. NSAID pain medication is the most common method for decreasing arthritc pain in dogs but is not the preferred method for long term treatment. Weight loss in a dog of approximately 10% of their bodyweight can provide as much pain relief as giving NSAID pain medication. (Average weight loss with the TrimDog Weight Loss System is 3-5% of bodyweight in 6 weeks.) If your pet suffers from chronic athritis consider getting them started on a weight loss program as soon as possible so they can enjoy a fit and healthy life.

Dog Arthritis and Common Solutions

This decrease in pain is caused by the increase of blood flow to the joints providing an increase in lubrication and thus mobility. The benefits of walking are far greater than most people believe. Dogs suffering from arthritis should start a walking regimen to reap all the benefits of exercise.

What about dog's who have arthritis not from obesity but from previous traumatic injuries. If a person injuries their knee, shoulder, elbow, etc.; low impact resistance training is recommend to strengthen the muscles, tendons, and ligaments to stabilize the joint and increase mobility. These same principle have been used with dogs to help achieve a higher level of fitness post injury.
