Arthritis in Animals

The Facts:
Arthritis simply refers to inflammation of a joint. For many years it has been traditional for veterinary surgeons to inject drugs like cortisone directly into these joints. This drug is very effective at reducing the inflammation; however repeated injections have been shown to damage the joint cartilage and speed up the development of arthritis.

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID’s) are frequently prescribed and may prove beneficial initially if the animal will rest. Unfortunately due to relief of pain they offer, animals will often over exercise resulting in further cartilage damage. Many of these drugs also carry unwanted side effects in particular in connection with the digestive system and major organs.

A number of natural products have been used for many years to supplement traditional veterinary medication and treatments. Some of the most beneficial are glucosamine, chondroitin, hyaluronic acid and methylsulphonylmethane (MSM).

The main problem with some of these joint protecting agents is that when they are given orally they are poorly absorbed from the digestive system and much is broken down in the liver. By adding large quantities of Aloe Vera, more is able to reach the joints.

What you can do to help!

Forever Freedom
is an ideal product for animals at risk from or who are already suffering arthritis. Studies have shown that combinations of these joint-protecting agents are more effective then the individual compounds alone. 

The amounts required are:

Owners frequently notice an improvement in their animal’s symptoms within 2 weeks of starting the Freedom; in some cases the response has been quicker. At this time the volume given can usually be halved. It is important to remember that all animals will show an individual response to products like Freedom and therefore the amount required to keep arthritis under control will show some variation.

Arctic-Sea Omega-3
Contains both fish and olive oils providing the Omega-3 fatty acid eicosapentaenoic acid and docohexaenoic acid. As well as helping with problems associated with the cardiovascular system they also help the composition of synovial fluid and reduce inflammation. Medium sized dogs would require one capsule twice daily with meals.

Aloe Heat Lotion
This product with its high Aloe Vera content has a number of other ingredients which produce deep heat benefits. The Aloe Vera in this formulation not only has its own soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, but also helps carry the other active ingredients to the deeper layers. In animals this product should be gently massaged directly into the skin over the injured area and not just applied to the hair. Aloe Heat Lotion is particularly useful for joint, tendon, ligament and muscle problems.

MSM Gel
It is interesting that we are always advised that early in an inflammatory process it is important to cool down the area. Use MSM Gel frequently in the acute phase for additional cooling and then alternate this with Heat Lotion to produce some amazing results!

Aloe Veterinary Formula
When Aloe Veterinary Formula is sprayed before applying Heat Lotion or MSM Gel the healing benefits are increased. As mentioned earlier most owners see some sort of improvement within about 2 weeks and even before that! You will be able to relieve your best friend from the pain of acheing joints thus allowing him to be more playful and enjoy life.
