Dog Arthritis Medicine

Many older dogs will suffer from the effects of arthritis. I have written this article about my experiences with dog arthritis medicine. My dog, Storm, had arthritis in his later years. I first started noticing some dog arthritis signs in him when he was about 8 or 9. I did not know at the time it was canine arthritis. The symptoms were not too bad at first, but they became more noticeable in several years. I took him to the vet who determined he had mild arthritis at the time. He did not suggest any dog arthritis medicine yet. I was to make sure to keep his weight down and to exercise him regularly. Read my article on dog arthritis signs for more information about dogs and arthritis.

Aspirin Can Be Dangerous!

But in a few more years, his condition had noticeably worsened and I took him back to the vet. We discussed several dog arthritis medicine options. He suggested just giving Storm one aspirin per day for a while to see if it would help him. I did this and in a week or so Storm seemed to be doing much better. In a few weeks he had really improved. But dog arthritis medicine can have side effects. Even aspirin can be dangerous I soon found. One day Storm got very sick very fast. In fact, he came close to dieing in my opinion. It was a very scary situation, and the vet determined he had developed an intestinal infection from the aspirin! No more aspirin for Storm!

Rimadyl Side Effects -- Beware!

The vet talked about several other types of dog arthritis medicine and gave us a bottle of Rimadyl. However, I was a little apprehensive about giving Storm anything after the aspirin scare, so I looked up the side effects of Rimadyl on the Internet. Sure enough, there were enough horror stories from dog owners using Rimadyl that I was not going risk it with Storm. I had to find a safer dog arthritis medicine.

This is when I discovered liquid glucosamine. While researching the topic of dog arthritis on the web, I came across quite a lot of information about using liquid glucosamine for treating dog arthritis. Not only did it appear to be quite effective, it had virtually no side effects as a dog arthritis medicine. I ordered a bottle of Syn-flex liquid glucosamine for Storm. After the first month of giving it to him, I could tell a positive difference in his symptoms. It was the only dog arthritis medicine I gave him for the rest of his life.

Relieve Dog Arthritis Pain Safely

In fact, I was so convinced of its effectiveness; I became a distributor for both Syn-flex and Flexicose liquid glucosamine. And since that time I have sold thousands and thousands of bottles to both pet owners and people who suffer from arthritis. The same formula works for both pets and humans. I now have many dog owners who, like I did, use the glucosamine as their sole dog arthritis medicine and have great results doing so!
