| Vet Review | Another wonderful joint treat for dogs are the Greenies Joint Care Dog treats. These treats include a synergistic mixture of glucosamine, chondroitin, and omega 3 fatty acids for healthy joints. The amino acids in the product help maintain normal cartilage health. I also love the fact that these treats contain the ingredient the green-lipped mussel, which has been shown in human research trials to be effective for management of arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Additional minerals of zinc, copper and manganese also support healthy joint function and mobility. I give these tasty treats an overall rating of 4 out of 5. | As a holistic-oriented veterinarian, I am always looking for nondrug alternatives to help our pets who suffer from many chronic inflammatory disorders, including crippling arthritis, frustrating itchy skin allergies, and inflammatory digestive disorders. In my 17 year veterinary career I have often been disappointed by "supposed" new miracle cures that are always coming across my desk or that clients share with me from the internet. When the great company azmira developed their version of Yucca, I was very excited to try it for some of these difficult conditions, especially given the lack of truly effective natural alternatives that work. After using this product for a few years now, I can say that it is an outstanding, and proven safe all natural supplement. With its powerful natural steroidal saponins, the anti inflammatory effects for skin, digestive and joint disorders has led to remarkable results in treating these conditions. I have often combined using this product, along with the powerful antioxidant proanthozone, and the Super Pure omega 3 fatty acids from 1800petmeds to all work together in helping naturally each of these frustrating conditions. Because of the reduced blood flow from injured tissue swelling and inflammation, yucca can help cleanse the liver and kidneys as well by promoting blood flow and tissue repair. The only downside I see to using this product is its bitter taste, which does make it difficult to administer to some animals. This is a plus, however when using the product topically to treat allergic hot spots on the skin, or to prevent a pet from biting or gnawing at a certain area of the body. Some tips I have given clients in easing administration, is to perhaps give the yucca orally in a little gravy, olive oil, a pets favorite canned food, yogurt, or with some peanut butter on a piece of small bread. This often gets around the bitter taste of this highly concentrated product. However those who try it, especially with the above synergistic supplements, will not be disappointed in most cases. I give this product an overall rating of 5, an effectiveness of 4.5, and a taste of 2(however with the above tips, administering it should not be a problem |
