The Importance Of Dog Supplements That Contain Glucosamine And Chondroitin

Alternative Medicine

For animal lovers, nothing is as important as taking care of their pet’s health. At its most basic this includes yearly check-ups, up to date vaccinations, and grooming; but for many of us, there are other things that are absolutely necessary as well. One of these things is dog supplements, namely ones that include ingredients known to support the health of our best friends. Supplement that continues to grow in popularity are those that contain glucosamine and chondroitin, ingredients that are widely known to support joint health in both animals and humans.

Now you may be asking right about now: “Why haven’t I heard of using these products to support my pet’s joint health?” The main reason is that because they are not able to be patented, pet pharmaceutical companies have little incentive to actively develop dog supplements that include them. While they have been in use in Europe for nearly two decades, they are just starting to catch on here in the US. But as more and more pet owners and veterinarians are discovering the benefits of glucosamine and chondroitin to animal’s joint health, more and more products containing these ingredients are being developed and prescribed.
