Joint Guard Health Supplement for Dogs

Joint Guard for Dogs helps relieve the pain and inflammation associated with osteoarthritis and associated joint problems.

What is it?
Joint Guard is Australia's No.1 Vet Recommended joint health supplement and contains more Glucosamine and Chondroitin Sulfate per dose than any other Joint Helath Supplement. Thanks to this clinically proven and potent dose you can be sure your pet is given the best available treatment to relieve the pain and stiffness of arthritis.

What's it for?
Dogs’ joints take a pounding, from running after tennis balls to jumping off the back deck. And for some dogs, that’s a problem. More use means more injuries and can lead to joint-related problems such as ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) tears and osteoarthritis.

Unfortunately, dogs can’t tell us what’s wrong, so it’s important to keep an eye out for the following symptoms that could indicate arthritis:

Difficulty sitting or standing
Favouring a limb
Decreased activity or less interest in play
Attitude or behaviour changes
Reluctance to jump, run or climb stairs
Weight gain
Sleeping more

What is does:
The essential components in Joint Guard serve to both reduce cartilage degeneration, and stimulate production of healthy cartilage matrix.

Glucosamine hydrochloride - stimulates formation of both synovial (joint) fluid and the cartilage matrix, Chondroitin sulfate - provides protection from the enzymes which break down cartilage, and is the major component in cartilage,

Manganese and Vitamin C - are essential in the pathways to manufacture cartilage,
MSM - is used during soft connective tissue synthesis e.g. in the joint capsule.

Why your pet needs it:
Studies show that up to 35% of adult dogs are likely suffering from some form of Osteoarthritis? This disease has a range of causes, from long term lack of proper food and exercise to genetic susceptibility (some breeds are even more susceptible than others).

Features:

Tasteless and odourless powder
Simply mix with food
Gentle and natural supplement
Repairs damaged cartilage
Supports smoother movement
Helps reduce non-infectious joint inflammation
Relieves pain associated with inflammation.

Why you'll love it
Osteoarthritis can affect dogs and humans alike, as it's a joint disease that frequently comes with aging, or even weight issues. So if you notice that your dog isn't jumping coming to greet you when you enter the house, then they may be affected. It’s hard to see an active, healthy dog become debilitated by this condition.

Long term treatment with Joint Guard may help reduce non-infectious joint inflammation such as that caused by arthritis, hip dyspasia, OCD, injury or over-activity. It can also be used as a preventative in breeds that are susceptible to joint problems (such as Retrievers, German Shepherds and Rottweilers) or pets with high activity levels or working dogs.

Joint Guard contains a unique and clinically proven combination of Glucosamine hydrochloride and Chondroitin sulfate along with Methyl Sulfonyl Methane (MSM), Manganese and all the important co-factors that help keep your pet's joints as healthy as possible.

Research trials on the combination of these ingredients report a significant synergy between these components and a chondroprotective (joint protective) effect, as well as a mild anti-inflammatory effect following regular administration which helps reduce the pain associated with joint problems and gets your pet moving again.
