To further understand how our supplements can help, you should understand what arthritis is in cats and dogs.

What is Cat and Dog Arthritis?

Like arthritis in humans, arthritis in cats and dogs refers to the inflammation of their joints. It happens when the joint cartilage tears down, causing the bones to scrape against one another. The rubbing leads to swelling and progressive pain.

Since the pain and destruction are progressive and worsen over time, cat and dog arthritis is also known as degenerative joint disease. That’s why senior pets are most at risk.

Being a chronic disorder, you may wonder if this kit's supplements are safe for long-term use. Since most of our supplements are made with non-GMO vegetable glycerin, they are entirely safe for long-term usage.

One in every five dogs experiences arthritis in their lifetime; over 70% of cats aged twelve or above get this condition too. Because of how common it is, we recommend pet parents get our Arthritis and Joint Pain Super Relief Kit not only when your furkid starts having arthritis but also as proactive support.

Symptoms of Arthritis in Cats and Dogs

It is hard to tell if your little one has joint pain sometimes because they might try to hide it! But here are some typical indications you should look out for:

• Stiffness
• Difficulty moving
• Joint inflammation
• Lameness
• Reduced stamina
• Low energy levels
• Low appetite

Go for a vet visit as soon as you notice these signs, so your furkiddo can receive suitable treatment immediately.

Yucca root is widely used in dog food as well as in other pet foods. It is an herb that is highly nutritive as it is rich in vitamin C, beta-carotene, B vitamins, magnesium, iron, calcium, manganese, protein, niacin, and phosphorus. Yucca contains two very beneficial compounds: sarsasapogenin and smilagenin. These two compounds work on the mucous membranes of the small intestine. These compounds help with the penetration and absorption of minerals and vitamins. Sarsasapogenin and Smilagenin are known as steroidal saponins (phytosterols), which act as precursors to corticosteroids produced naturally by the body.

Steroidal-saponins support the immune function of the body while stimulating and supporting the production of its own corticosteroids and corticosteroid–related hormones. Due to this action, studies conducted on yucca have shown that it may be beneficial and effective for discomfort and inflammation in conditions such as arthritis. Yucca may also be effective as an appetite booster in dogs and may also help reduce the production of urease, which contributes to the unpleasant odors of urine and feces in some dogs.
