The Key to Treating Your Dog’s Arthritis

Author: Sophie   Date Posted:8 September 2020 

Have you noticed your four-legged friend moving slower? Are they having trouble going up stairs or jumping onto furniture? With 4 out of 5 dogs showing signs of arthritis by age 8, arthritis could be the cause of your pooch’s discomfort. See the risk assessment below to see if your dog is at risk.

 

 

Although there is no cure for arthritis, you can help relieve the signs and keep your dog active. For dogs, a joint supplement added to their diet can help tremendously. When it comes to your fur-baby, you want to make sure they are getting the best supplement with proven ingredients. To protect them now and into their golden years, consider Glyde Mobility Chews.

Glyde’s formula has all-natural ingredients to promote joint health and cartilage development, so dogs can do everything they love to do! The three key ingredients in Glyde are Glucosamine, Chondroitin and Green Lipped Mussel. Glucosamine reduces cartilage degradation while Chondroitin helps to rebuild it. New Zealand Green Lipped Mussel, the only natural source of omega-3 fatty acids, is a powerful anti-inflammatory that helps relieve joint pain and stiffness while maintaining youthful mobility.

 

One of our local vets, Dr. Kellie Thomas, said she proudly recommends Glyde to her clients. The biggest reason is the fact it works so well for her own dog. See how it helped her 13-year-old Great Dane with severe osteoarthritis, Walt.  

“I have tried him on a number of nutraceuticals in the past. What I really liked about the Glyde is that they are available in chews, and he seemed to really enjoy having his daily treats - whereas in the past I have struggled with palatability (taste). As a veterinarian, I will continue to recommend Glyde chews to my clients for their efficacy, convenience, and palatability. To me, they are a market leader.” — Dr. Kellie Thomas

Not only do our vets approve, so do our #GlydeDogs. See how Glyde helped Effie’s joint pain:

 

“Before starting on Glyde chews, Effie struggled with stiff joints, lack of energy and her overall well-being seemed to be lacking. She is now much more lively with enough energy to keep up with the rest of our herding pack, she’s able to jump in and out of the car for our endless adventures and I’m hearing far less creaky bones when she stretches after her snoozles. I’m told on a regular basis that her coat is shining and she appears far younger than she was always perceived, I could not be happier with these results!” — Effie’s fur mum

Some good news for dogs and pet parents alike: Glyde helps relieve your fur-baby’s joint pain and dogs love it. Packed with powerful nutrients, it will keep your dog’s puppy energy going strong. With Glyde Mobility Chews, protecting your dog’s joints is as easy as giving them a daily chew that they think tastes like a treat!
