Natural remedies for arthritis pain in dogs

Supplements

Supplements are a key ingredient in a dog’s diet whether they have arthritis or not. They are key because they provide a dog with nutrients that they can not get any other way, even if they have the healthiest diet in the world. Although a healthy diet should be maintained throughout a dog’s life, supplements need to be used as well to make sure they are getting everything they need. The supplements that work great for arthritis include; omega 3 fatty acids, glucosamine and chondroitin. These supplements help reduce swelling and pain in the joint and can also bring back lubrication to the joint.

Stem cell therapy

Although it may not seem like a very natural treatment, stem cell therapy is as natural as treatments come. We take stem cells out of your dog’s fat, activate them in our lab and then inject them back into your dog at the sight of the arthritis. A stem cell is a young cell that hasn’t been given a job yet, when they get into the joint, they begin transforming into healthy cells to replace the damaged ones. They can turn into any cell the body needs them to and create a healthy joint.

So, supplements can help reduce the pain and swelling from arthritis, and stem cell therapy can basically press the reset button on the joint, so your dog has much longer between outbreaks of serious pain and swelling. Use these natural remedies together, and you can prolong the effectiveness of each remedy and dramatically decrease the pain your dog is in.
