Delaying Arthritis?
Can arthritis be prevented?
The answer is no – but for many dogs the time of the start of symptoms can be delayed; plus often the progress of arthritis can be slowed.
Find out what you can do to lessen the impact of arthritis on your dog.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip dysplasia is genetic. Whether a dog will get hip dysplasia depends on the genes they inherit from their parents.
If you are getting a puppy from a breeder ask for certification that the parents did not have hip dysplasia. This will reduce the risk of your puppy having hip dysplasia.
There are a range of care and treatment options that can help a dog with hip dysplasia retain mobility and have less pain.
Dasuquin
Dasuquin is a new joint supplement that combines glucosamine and chondroitin with ASU.
ASU stands for avocado/soybean unsaponifiables, which is a specific type of extract from these two plants.
ASU has been shown to increase the effectiveness of glucosamine and chondroitin in slowing the progression of arthritis and reducing inflammation.
