Healthy Dog Joints & cartilage

The joints of our dogs are exposed to enormous stress every day, because dogs naturally have an extremely high urge to move and simply love to frolic, run and jump happily through nature. In order to be able to withstand these enormous loads until the animals get old, the joints of the animals need highly functional protection, for which both the articular cartilage of the animals and the so-called synovial fluid are responsible.

The articular cartilage serves as an effective buffer for the stresses on the joints and the synovial fluid prevents excessive friction in a joint and dangerous bone abrasion. The articular cartilage and the synovial fluid complement and support each other in their function and form the effective protection system for the joints of the animals. However, the dog's body is dependent on a regular supply of important joint nutrients so that there is always a sufficient amount of cartilage and synovial fluid in all joints.

Joint nutrients ensure the preservation and functionality of the articular cartilage

The joint nutrients cannot be produced by the dog's body itself and therefore the animals have to ingest these substances regularly through food. Above all, glucosamine and chondroitin, as well as collagen and a special sulfur compound called MSM are of absolute importance for the preservation of articular cartilage and for its optimal buffering capacity. The glucosamine and collagen enable the dog's body to always produce enough cartilage cells, which ensures that cartilage does not degenerate unnoticed. Chondroitin and MSM enable the cartilage to buffer optimally by ensuring ideal stability and flexibility of the cartilage cells.

Beware of cartilage loss

Under certain circumstances, a loss of cartilage in the joints of dogs can go unnoticed, putting the animals' joints at significant risk. Various factors can be considered as triggers for the cartilage decline and the associated hypofunction of the cartilage, such as the natural aging process of the animals, a permanently wrong diet, genetic aspects and much more.

If cartilage regresses or the flexibility and stability of the cartilage cells decreases, sooner or later the stresses caused by the movements will have a direct effect on the joints and damage them irreparably Joint wearß arises. With the help of the highly concentrated joint nutrients in the two food supplements for dogs DOG FIT by PreThis® Joints with glucosamine and DOG FIT by PreThis® JOINTS collagen can optimally prevent a cartilage decline and an underfunction of the cartilage mass and even a cartilage that has already receded can be quickly rebuilt.

The dog's body must constantly produce synovial fluid

The dog's body also needs joint nutrients for the formation of the important synovial fluid, commonly referred to colloquially as synovial fluid. Lip cup are included. Supplementary food for dogs Platinum DOG FIT by PreThis® JOINTS grennshell with green-lipped mussel contains the highly concentrated extract of this valuable mussel species and offers the dog an ideal amount of the important nutrients for the constant production of synovial fluid. A sufficient amount of synovial fluid also ensures that the cartilage cells are constantly supplied with a sufficient concentration of joint nutrients, since the synovial fluid is also responsible for a fluid exchange between the cartilage mass and the causing surrounding tissue. Only in this way can the important joint active ingrediente such as glucosamine, chondroitin and MSM get inside the cartilage cells.
