  Winter Tips for Joint Comfort

 
The winter months bring cold weather which can cause painful and stiff joints in your pet. Help your furry friend weather the cold a little easier by using the following:
 

 
  

Orthopedic beds provide comfort and support.


Orthopedic beds provide support and help ease the strain on your pet’s joints when resting. The ergonomically designed bolster in each bed also provides relief for the neck.
 

 

  
Colder temperatures can cause increased stiffness in your dog or cat's joints
 
For homes with tile or bare flooring, use blankets or pads to cover these areas, which may become extremely cold for your pet's paws.
  

Joint supplements promote joint health.


Adding a joint supplement to your pet's daily diet may help maintain your pet's joint health.
 
 
"My four-year-old Pit Bull was so stiff in her hips that she struggled to get up after laying on the floor. We had to leave her in the house when the kids were playing outside to keep her from running and then suffering all night. Our vet gave her Rimadyl, but it did not seem to help the stiffness. After a few weeks of taking Super Joint Enhancer twice daily we started to notice a difference. I cut back the dose to one per day as recommended, but found that she seemed to get much more relief with the twice daily dose. We consistently give her two tablets daily and it has greatly improved her quality of life. I highly recommend this product." - Rubi
  

  

Arthritis pain medications relieve joint pain.


Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory pain medications (NSAIDs) provide quick pain and inflammation relief associated with arthritis. NSAIDs are pain medications and require a prescription from your veterinarian.
 
  

  
 
  Max's Tip: To reduce arthritis pain, your pet should maintain a healthy weight to avoid extra pressure
on joints.
