While Degenerative Joint Disease (DJD) can result from the normal aging process, it is often accelerated in dog by an injury or
other underlying health condition that causes stress or inflammation on the joints.
What causes Joint Disease
Inflammatory compounds in the joint space disrupt the cartilage matrix
which reduces its ability to retain water. As the cartilage dehydrates or dries out, it
starts to become brittle and rubbery. Sorta like a piece of cheese you left out overnight. It also becomes more likely to splinter.
If it gets bad enough, the underlying bone can also be affected.
Unfortunately, DJD in dogs is an irreversible process. Treatment is aimed at slowing down the progression of the disease,
reducing pain, and maintaining movement in the joint.
It is a complex process with a lot of different elements, which means one
thing -- the best treatment hits the disease process on multiple fronts.
This is defined as ‘multimodal disease management,’ and it’s the gold standard
in DJD therapy.
There are a few fronts from which DJD and be attacked; such as, the use of anti-inflammatories, nutraceuticals and supplements, adequan injections, weight loss,
alternative treatment modalities, and prevention.
Unfortunately, by the time a dog starts to limp or shows signs of pain, they have usually
had DJD for some time and it is fairly advanced.
That’s why preventive measures are so important.
Here’s a few suggestions that pet
owners should learn from the get-go:
1. Maintain a healthy weight for your dog.
2. Maintain a regular exercise program to keep joints mobile
and healthy.
3. Keep your dog on a healthy diet and add omega-3 fatty acids, which have anti-inflammatory properties.
4. If your pet is highly active or in a higher-risk category for DJD, consider adding nutraceuticals and supplements such as Life's Abundance
Agility Joint Formula
to their diet sooner rather than later.
Age isn’t a disease, but DJD is. You really can’t begin joint healthcare early enough. From diet to exercise to supplements,
put your plan in place now to keep your dog in good health long into their senior years!
