How do glucosamine and chondroitin work in dogs?
Glucosamine is the raw material for building cartilage components and supports the production of proteoglycans, which give cartilage its elasticity. Chondroitin inhibits the enzymes that break down cartilage and increases the viscosity of synovial fluid, and the two substances work together.
When should I start giving my dog a joint supplement?
Ideally before symptoms appear: in breeds predisposed to dysplasia from around 12 months of age, in active dogs from the start of intensive training, in seniors over 7 years of age and in dogs after joint injuries.
Do joint supplements make sense once a dog is already limping?
Yes, but they are less effective then, because the changes in the joint are usually already advanced. Chondroprotectives work best preventively.
Why do working dogs’ joints wear out faster?
Jumps, sudden braking, hours-long walks and long static positions cause micro-injuries to the cartilage. Over time they can lead to degenerative joint disease and recurring inflammation.
Which protein is best for a dog’s muscles?
Protein of animal origin, i.e. meat and animal products. It is digested more easily than plant protein and covers the requirement for all the essential amino acids.
Which dogs need more protein?
Puppies, pregnant and lactating bitches and dogs in training. Muscle nourishment also needs attention in older dogs, which may develop sarcopenia.
