Lameness

Affecting quality of life

Your dog's musculoskeletal system is subject to a great deal of stress over time. This is noticeable as the animal ages. It can dramatically reduce your its quality of life, which in turn will affect you.

With age, the joint cartilage gradually loses its elasticity because it can no longer generate the various building blocks of the cartilage by itself. This wear affects tendons and ligaments as well as cartilage and joints.

Dietary supplementation

This is why it is so important to feed your animal the right vitamins, fiber, and essential fatty acids every day from early on in life. These substances will improve the nutrient intake of the cartilage, promote metabolic activity, prevent degradation, and break down the body's own metabolic poisons ("free radicals").
