Dog food for the joints

The causes of joint problems can be varied. They often occur with increasing age, as the cartilage tissue degrades over time. But problems can also occur in young dogs, for example if they have a genetic predisposition or a congenital defect. Among other things, there are dog breeds that are particularly frequently affected by joint problems such as HD (hip joint dysplasia), ED (elbow joint dysplasia) and arthrosis . These include in particular large and fast-growing breeds such as golden retrievers, Labrador retrievers, German shepherds and Rottweilers. In addition, being overweight can lead to excessive wear and tear on the joints, as can overloading the joints through too much exercise. However, a lack of nutrients can also affect joint health, as can accidents and trauma.

The following symptoms may indicate joint disease in your four-legged friend:

• Stiff gait
• Lameness
• Fast fatigue when walking
• Difficulty jumping and climbing stairs
• Preferred Lying down
• Hard to get up
• Yowling or growling when joints are touched
• Diminished appetite

If your pet shows any of the symptoms listed above, you should urgently consult a veterinarian.

Glucosamine can maintain and support joint health. That's why we have included an extra portion of glucosamine in our MOBILITIES to sustainably support the joints of our four-legged friends.

Omega-3 fatty acids also support the joints by having an anti-inflammatory effect. This can help with arthritis pain, for example. Thanks to the combination of hemp, algae and linseed oil, our VISH OIL is rich in important omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.

You can prevent joint problems at an early stage by providing your dog with a balanced diet. Especially during growth, it is important that your furry friend receives sufficient nutrients to ensure even development of body weight, bones and joints. At the same time, a growing dog should not consume too much energy, otherwise it will grow too quickly. This can lead to serious and permanent skeletal damage and deformities. Once your dog is fully grown, you should continue to pay attention to his diet to prevent him from becoming overweight. With vegan dog food from VEGDOG , you can do something good for your faithful companion and their health. Our dry and wet food is 100% complete and therefore provides your four-legged friend with all the important nutrients they need. However, you can prevent joint problems not only with high-quality dog food, but also with a good amount of exercise.

Has your dog already reached the golden years? Then not only joint problems occur more frequently, but also other signs of ageing.
