OSTEOARTHRITIS IN DOGS

Did you know that 20% of dogs as early as age one can start to show signs of osteoarthritis (OA), and 80% of dogs over eight will show signs of OA.

That’s why early diagnosis and treatment of OA is paramount to maintaining your pet’s quality of life as they age.

OA is a chronic disease that results in persistent joint inflammation and cartilage degeneration. For some dogs, it can be very painful and severely impacts their mobility. You may even know the feeling yourself – because OA also affects humans.

Our opinion is that having a proactive approach to the management of OA before symptoms get severe is the best way of managing this degenerative condition.

GLYDE Mobility Chews for Dogs is a natural supplement that may help relieve the symptoms of arthritis in dogs.

Cartilage acts as a shock absorber between the bones of joints, and the joint fluid lubricates the area within the joint. Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) form the major building blocks of cartilage and joint fluid. When arthritis sets in, the cartilage becomes damaged leading to signs and symptoms which can include inflammation, pain, stiffness, swelling, a reluctance to run or play and lameness in the affected limbs.

GLYDE contains three separate biological compounds:

• Glucosamine – a precursor to the production of Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs).
• Chondroitin Sulfate Sodium – is one of the main GAGs. The Chondroitin Sulfate Sodium in GLYDE comes from socially responsible sources – not from shark cartilage.
• Green Lipped Mussel Powder – is a source of GAGs and Omega 3 Fatty Acids.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

Precautions: GLYDE CAN NOT BE RECOMMENDED AS AN ALTERNATIVE TREATMENT IN SEVERE OR ACUTE JOINT INFLAMMATION. CONSULT WITH YOUR VETERINARIAN FIRST.
Use in pregnant animals is not recommended as safe use in pregnant animals has not been established.

DO I NEED THE INITIAL TREATMENT DOSE?
