Dogs can suffer from arthritis pains just as people do. Some breeds are more prone to such problems, and overweight dogs often have similar issues. In any case, you can help your furry friend to live without pains, or at least make his life easier. There are a few highly efficient supplements that can make it happen, when it comes to natural arthritis pain relief for dogs.

So, you can start with different supplements. For example, those containing chondroitin and glucosamine, as well as MSM. These substances act reducing the pain and having an anti inflammatory effect. Any good vet will probably prescribe such supplements for animal suffering from arthritis, because such supplements are proven by different medical studies. They bring pain relief and promote healing.

Maybe it looks cute, but these few extra pounds can make your dog's pains worst. Less weight would relieve the pressure from his joints. Supplements containing Omega 3 amino acids will make a great difference, and they can even make your dog's coat shinier. They will reduce the inflammation and ease the pain as well. They have the ability to lubricate the joint.

There are some other supplements you can use to help the poor animal. For example, different anti oxidants and enzymes will improve his health condition and have beneficial effect on his immune system.

Acupuncture is another idea you might find really useful. It is proven that acupuncture treatment bring relief from arthritis pains, but they can also promote blood circulation in the area surrounding the joint, and this might provide long-term effects, strengthening the tissues that support this painful part.
