Do you have a dog with osteoarthritis, dysplasia or a large breed puppy?
Glucosamine and chondroitin are natural substances produced by the body to form collagen and thus help joints function properly.
What happens when the body does not produce enough?
– Dysplasia, osteoarthritis, hernias and other locomotor pathologies.
– Large and giant puppies suffer from joint pain as they grow at a rapid rate, especially with feed-based diets.
– Dogs that do a lot of sport and therefore have greater joint wear.
– Older dogs, as they do not produce enough collagen necessary for their body.
How can I help him boost his glucosamine and chondroitin?
There are products such as artificially created chondroprotectors as a supplement, of which the best are those that contain 99% purity, but they are still pills that many of our dogs do not like to ingest.
On the other hand, you can also find them in natural products that will not only provide your dog with glucosamine and chondroitin, but will also clean their teeth and entertain them, such as:
– Pig ears, feet or cheeks, which are very rich in collagen, but also in fat, can be given directly after freezing.
– Mussels and other mollusks such as clams, octopuses… (the meat, not the shell).
– Trachea of pig, lamb, cow, etc.
– Dogfish, blue shark and other types of sharks for consumption, where the entire animal is used, not just the dorsal fins.
– Chicken skin, which is also very rich in fatty acids, is not harmful to dogs, nor does it contain a greater accumulation of toxins, since chickens for consumption are so young that they cannot have accumulated many toxic substances in their body.
All of them raw or dehydrated.
In the most serious cases, of course, you should seek advice from your veterinarian but always ensure a good diet.
ATTENTION: REMEMBER THAT IF YOU GIVE HIM RAW SUPPLEMENTS DO NOT MIX THEM WITH THE FEED, WAIT ABOUT 12 HOURS FROM THE LAST TIME HE ATE FEED AND THEN ABOUT 6 HOURS UNTIL YOU EAT FEED AGAIN, SINCE FEED AND RAW FOOD INVOLVE DIFFERENT DIGESTIONS. IF YOU FEE HIM A BARF DIET YOU CAN INCLUDE IT IN HIS DAILY DIET.
