Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, hip dysplasia and others: is Dasuquin the answer?

Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, hip dysplasia and others: is Dasuquin the answer?

So you've already heard about this all-time favorite in joint supplements Dasuquin. You may have even used it on your suffering dog or as a preventive measure against such common illnesses. Now, some people would still think that if their dogs have arthritis, it just is what it is; “nothing to blame, just leave it lame” mentality.

The thing is, arthritis in dogs can be prevented; it can be treated and alleviated naturally. For our beloved pet owners whose pet is suffering from such ailments, I highly recommend that you take your pet to your trusted veterinarian so that he can surely explain to you in detail how you will deal with this problem.

For now, I have reserved some technical terms for joint problems in our dogs. Absolutely, our dogs could never understand such a term, but I hope when our times come, we not only let these terms invade our ears but also drive us to be kind enough to pets to take him/her to our vet for appropriate action.

Osteoarthritis

This is a degenerative joint disease characterized by the destruction of bone cells and related cartilage tissues around the joints. Although this is too technical, sometimes this is the starting point for other very complicated and very specific joint diseases. Due to the destruction of these cells, inflammation, reduced shock absorption and reduced flexibility occur, causing severe pain to our pets.

Rheumatoid arthritis

So dogs can get rheumatoid arthritis too? Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks joint cells, causing inflammation and swelling. Although this is not common in dogs, most affected breeds are toy or small breeds in the early stages of life.

Hip dysplasia

Hip dysplasia has a variety of causes, from genetics to diet to excessive exercise. What is happening here is that the ball and socket that make up the hip joint appear to be far apart, causing tissue erosion and severe wear and tear. This eventually leads to arthritis, a disease characterized by pain and swelling.

Other joint diseases and lameness problems to mention here include shoulder degeneration, traumatic arthritis, sprains and strains, broken bones, torn ligaments and even dislocations. All of this can or may cause your dog's active life to come to an end.

Let's come right here. As I said, joint diseases can be prevented, treated and alleviated. Today we can find a number of synthetic and natural supplements that we can try to help our pets. For example, we have the Dasuquin with msm for dogs, which your veterinarian may have recommended to you.

This cost-effective formulation for dogs provides comprehensive joint health management. It contains NMX1000 ASU (avocado/soybean unsaponifiable), decaffeinated tea, Cosequin's low molecular weight FCHG49 glucosamine hydrochloride and TRH122 chondroitin sulfate, and MSM (methylsulfonylmethane).

It contains avocado/soybean unsaponifiables or ASU enriched with green tea combined with glucosamine hydrochloride, MSM and low molecular weight chondroitin sulfate. It is the most complete joint support supplement available.

Also, Dasuquin with MSM for dogs is an over-the-counter (OTC) product available as flavored chewable tablets that we can give to our dogs to counteract joint problems.
