Arthritis

[Dottie]

Some useful links about canine arthritis:

Natural Arthritis Guide and Herbs to Help Dogs. (My Pet Nutritionist website)

Canine Arthritis Management.

I have heard that bone broth is a natural source of glucosamine and may be useful in the management of arthritis. 

Turmeric (aka Golden Paste) is reputed to be anti inflammatory and may be useful in arthritic conditions.

Hydrotherapy can also be helpful. 

If anyone has any further useful information and/or experience of this, please feel free to add to this thread.

Hi Dottie,

I am a big fan of Golden Paste and used to be a fan of bone broth until I learned about lead contamination.
There is an interesting study about it here: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23375414/

Thank you for your reply. I too am a fan of turmeric. My dogs have it in their food every day (it is included in the recipe). I have read good things about bone broth as a natural source of chondroitin. Have not heard about the lead issue so will read the linked article.
