According to the Arthritis Foundation, 20% of all dogs one year and older have some form of arthritis. By the time they reach the age of seven years old, their chances of suffering from debilitating joint issues skyrocket to 60%. Arthritis is the most common disease in dogs. This is a serious problem – because joint disease can have a huge impact on your dog’s mobility, energy levels, personality, and overall quality of life.
It’s no surprise, then, that pet owners are increasingly turning to joint health supplements to protect their dogs from joint inflammation and the pain and mobility issues that come from excessive wear and tear on an animal’s joints.
