Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common cause of chronic pain in dogs. It affects 80% of dogs over the age of 8 years old, and potentially up to 35% of dogs of all ages. It is considered a welfare concern in companion animals such as dogs, especially if left untreated. It is referred to as a 'silent pain' as dogs often suffer without their guardians realising or acknowledging.
Arthritis Support is a herbal blend to help to improve mobility, reduce inflammation, relieve pain and improve recovery from injury.
Features
- Boswellia, also known as Indian Frankincense, is traditionally used in Indian Ayurvedic Medicine for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties particularly in arthritic and rheumatic conditions.
- Willow Bark has been used traditionally in Western herbal medicine as an analgesic to relieve pain and to decrease symptoms of mild arthritis and mild osteoarthritis.
- Rosehip contains polyphenols and anthocyanins, which are believed to ease joint inflammation and prevent joint damage. It’s also rich in vitamin C, which has antioxidant properties. Antioxidants are substances that can override harmful molecules (free radicals) which are produced within your cells and which may cause tissue damage or disease. Other studies have found that it can reduce the production of specific enzymes that break down cartilage.
