If you have a dog with arthritis, more than likely your vet has recommended dietary supplements containing glucosamine, a natural amino sugar found in healthy cartilage; chondroitin, a complex carbohydrate that helps cartilage retain water; and an anti-inflammatory omega 3 fatty acid. As more two legged people are looking for more natural remedies for their own ailments, they are looking for the same for their four legged family members. The University of Florida’s School of Veterinary Medicine states that the two approaches have the similar results but the natural way doesn’t appear to have drugs gastrointestinal side effects. They recommend you ask your veterinarian about these natural ingredients and how to incorporate them into your dog’s diet. Some of those natural remedies include ascorbic acid or vitamin C; aloe vera; Yucca; Bromelain enzyme; and perna mussels or green-lipped mussels.
