Glucosamine in your dogs diet

By Taylor Janzen


Keeping joints healthy and strong requires a plentiful supply of lubricating fluid, a smooth cartilage coating on the working surfaces of the joint and healthy connective tissue. Many high quality glucosamine for dogs supplements have all the optimum ingredients needed to achieve this.

People easily recognize the needs of taking supplements to aid in our diets, they often take things such as glucosamine, chondroitin, msm and other supplements to keep their body in perfect functioning condition

Glucosamine is an amino sugar used to build tendons, ligaments, cartilage and synovial fluid (joint oil). It stimulates production of GAG's (glucosaminoglycans) in synovial fluid to enhance lubrication. In addition to being a lubricant this fluid acts as a shock absorber cushioning the joints during exercise. Synovial fluid tends to become thinner due to old age and wear and tear, thus losing some of its soothing properties. Glucosamine is a soluble natural product obtained from crustacean shells. After being consumed it is absorbed through the wall of the intestine into the body. It is then attracted to the joint cells where it provides the raw material to build up synovial fluid.

C and E Vitamins support healthy immune systems by reducing free radicals. Also Vitamin C can be quite helpful in helping to maintain healthy tissue in the joints as it is a well known collagen producing assistant.

All of these supplements should always provide a high level of Chondroitin, Glucosamine, MSM, HA, Omega 3 fatty acid and the antioxidants vitaman C and E. These are used to help keep your pets joint in tip top shape. Find a supplement formulated by top nutritionalists who have many years of experience with the pet industry to get the best joint supplements for your dogs overall health needs.

Always try and look at the cost per individual serving size when trying to get the best value for your money on spuulements for your pets.
