Joint health is vital for keeping dogs mobile, comfortable, and happy, from playful puppies to wise seniors. Prevention is key, and starting early makes a big difference.
1. Maintain a Healthy Weight
Extra weight is the enemy of healthy joints. Every extra pound increases strain, leading to earlier wear and tear. Keep your dog at their ideal weight with portion control, regular exercise, and nutritious, whole foods.
2. Keep Exercise Low-Impact
High-impact activities like jumping and running on hard surfaces can stress joints. Instead, focus on gentle activities like swimming, steady walks, and controlled play.
3. Add Anti-Inflammatory Foods
Turmeric, blueberries, and fatty fish are natural anti-inflammatories that support joint health. You can add them in small, safe amounts to your dog’s diet.
4. Provide Joint-Friendly Resting Areas
Orthopaedic beds cushion joints and reduce stiffness after rest. This is especially important for senior dogs or those with early signs of arthritis.
5. Use Natural Joint Support Supplements
Carbon Dog’s joint enhanced plus antioxidant oil combines natural antioxidants with joint-friendly nutrients, helping to protect cartilage, reduce inflammation, and keep your dog moving with ease.
Protecting your dog’s joints now means more years of play, walks, and tail wags.
