What are the symptoms of muscle and joint conditions?

Overall stiffness especially after rest (more noticeable in cold weather)
Whimpering when getting up
Difficulty climbing stairs or climbing in and out of car
Reluctance to exercise
Lameness
Unusual movements (for that particular animal)
Disjointed or wobbly gait
Swelling and tenderness in limb or spine
Shying away from being stroked along their back
Thickening of the joints of the affected limb
Favouring the use of one limb more than another
Irritability

There are a number of reasons why your pet could develop joint or muscle problems. Sprains and strains are fairly common in many active animals and certain animals may be more prone to this than others.

Cats especially may have nine lives but their constant leaping from roofs and trees can put stress and strain on their joints, especially if they are overweight.

There are also a certain number of medical conditions such as arthritis (an inflammation of the joints which is most common in older pets, especially dogs); spinal diseases such as spondylosis and spondylitis (also more common in older pets and particular in dogs) and hip dysplasia (a malformation of the hip's ball and socket which is more common in dogs but may affect certain breeds of cats).

Certain breeds of dogs and cats may be genetically more prone to developing conditions such as hip dysplasia and spinal problems.

How are muscle and joint problems usually treated?

For many conditions, conventional treatment is largely symptomatic, aimed primarily at reducing pain and inflammation and keeping the animal as comfortable as possible. Splinting, casting or surgery may also be necessary. While prescription anti-inflammatory medication may help to ease the pain, it can also play havoc with your pet's stomach lining, sometimes leading to ulcers and digestive problems with chronic use. The conventional non steroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs) can also damage the kidneys (nephrotoxic), especially in cats. Prescription medication may ease the pain and inflammation, but would have little healing effect.

The Natural Way

Nutrition is a key element in the treatment and prevention of many muscle and joint problems. Hip dysplasia has both a nutritional and a genetic component. When young, large breed dogs, examples include Labradors and German Shepherds, are fed the incorrect diet the hip muscle mass cannot keep pace with the growth of the bone and an incongruency develops at the hip joint. This incongruency causes strain on the hip joint with a resultant inflammatory reaction in the joint. In an attempt to reduce the strain the body forms extra bone to try and stabilise the joint. This is the bone that is so characteristic in xrays taken of arthritic joints.

As part of a holistic approach to treating your pet, natural remedies can help to build and strengthen your pet's immune system, encourage the elimination of toxins, strengthen and protect the skeletal system and generally improve the overall health of your animal - in addition to alleviating and treating the specific problems associated with muscle and joint problems. Other components of a holistic approach to therapy, especially in relation to alleviating and treating the symptoms associated with muscle and joint problems, include aromatherapy, acupuncture, chiropractic and hydrotherapy.

What is Muscle and Joint Support?

Muscle and Joint Support capsules are specially formulated for pets and contain a unique formula combining herbal medicines, biochemic tissue salts and nutritional substances all well known for their therapeutic and protective effect on the skeletal system, including muscles, joints, cartilage and tendons.

Muscle and Joint Support is an excellent choice for pets suffering from arthritis and degenerative joint disease and can also be used as a tonic and preventative in animals known to be susceptible to joint and bone ailments.

How has Muscle and Joint Support helped others?

"I am happy to report that since taking your Muscle and Joint Support, our Great Dane is much more comfortable and is again starting to chase the cat!"
- Nancy

"We first noticed that our family dog was limping and favoring the right side last winter and since then she has also become very sensitive to being touched on the back. Our vet recommended your Joint Support Caps and we have seen a big change. She means so much to us and we are very grateful to PetAlive for this great product!"
- Jeff R.

"Our old cat was really in pain with arthritis and is much better after using your product. We can pick her up and stroke her and she is less crabby which means she must be feeling comfortable again. Thank you very much for helping her."
- Sheila

What are the Ingredients?

Muscle and Joint Support contains the following herbal, homeopathic and nutritional ingredients.

Harpagophytum procumbens (Devil's Claw) is found in the Kalahari Desert and is exclusive to Africa. Because of its powerful anti-inflammatory properties, Devil's Claw is used world-wide for osteo-arthritis, fibrositis, rheumatism, small joint disease and lower backache. Scientific research in the West has confirmed the anti-inflammatory and antirheumatic properties of this medicinal herb. Research has demonstrated that consistent use of Devil's Claw for at least 6 weeks can significantly improve the movement of arthritic joints and reduce swelling. It is also well known as a digestive tonic and is beneficial in the treatment of liver and gall bladder disorders.

Arthrospira platenis (Spirulina) is a single celled micro-organism found in the sea and is widely used as a source of chlorophyll. Widely used for its nutritive properties, Spirulina contains high concentrations of protein, vitamins (including B12 and folic acid) and carotenoids. This sea algae has been medicinally used in Chinese medicine for thousands of years as a tonic to boost energy, relieve arthritis, enhance liver functioning, improve resistance to disease and all around systemic health.

Calcium Fluoride (6cH) (Calc. Flour.) is a biochemic tissue salt which helps to strengthen, tone and restore elasticity to all cells and body tissues. It can help to restore tone and elasticity to muscles and tendons and improve ease of movement in the body. Calc. Flour. is also useful in the treatment of bladder problems and enlarged prostate glands.

Natrium Phosphoricum (6cH) (Nat. Phos.) acts as a biochemical antacid, acid neutralizer and PH balancer. By helping to control acidity in the system, Nat. Phos. is invaluable in the treatment of all inflammatory conditions such as arthritis and joint stiffness. Regular use will help to improve mobility and reduce the pain.

Natrium Sulphate (6cH) (Nat. Sulph.) is a biochemic tissue salt also known as the 'cell cleanser' and also helps to regulate and balance all body fluids. It is invaluable for a range of conditions, and helps to promote the health of the liver, pancreas, urinary tract system, respiratory system and digestive system. Nat. Sulph is also particularly useful in all bone related complaints, also helping to ease pain and stiffness associated with old injuries.

Lecithin: This is a fatty substance found in different foods including liver, eggs and wheat germ and is essential for many body functions, helping to build strong and healthy cell membranes and maintain optimum liver functioning.

Glucosamine Sulphate is a crucial element in the building and maintenance of healthy cartilage, which provides 'cushioning' at the end of the bones and between joints. Due to promising results in a number of clinical trials, this nutritional substance has been approved for the treatment of arthritis in more than 70 countries. Regular use has been shown to ease pain and inflammation, increase mobility and assist in the repair of aging and damaged joints and the treatment of age-related degenerative joint disease. Studies have demonstrated that this supplement is as effective in animals as it is in humans.

Lactose: inactive ingredient

Contains no gluten, artificial flavours, colours or preservatives.

How do I use Muscle and Joint Support?

Muscle and Joint Support comes in convenient capsule form. Capsules may be swallowed whole by larger dogs. However, most owners find that it is easier and more convenient to open the capsule and mix the contents with wet food or a small treat. This prevents stress to both pet and owner! Cats, especially, hate to have medicine forced down their throats and will happily eat the dried herb when it is mixed with a little fish or meat.

Cats and small dogs: 1/2 capsule twice daily.
Medium dogs: One capsule twice daily.
Large dogs: One to two capsules twice daily.

Caution: Safety during pregnancy and nursing has not been established. Do not use together with prescription anti-inflammatory medication.

How long until I see results?

Depending on the size of your pet, one bottle of Muscle and Joint Support capsules should last from 15 - 60 days.

How long will a bottle last?

Results will vary depending on factors like diet, exercise as well as the health of your pet. With consistent use, you should be seeing improvement within 6 - 8 weeks, although some animals will respond sooner.

Regular exercise and a healthy diet (see below) will further enhance your pet's health, as well as the effectiveness of Muscle and Joint Support.

Cathy's Tips:

Be gentle on those joints. Next time you’re playing fetch the ball or destroy the catnip mouse with your furry friend, take some time to watch how effectively muscles, nerves and joints work together to facilitate movement in your pet. Pets, especially dogs, are always eager to please and even though muscles may be sore and joints may be strained they’ll still willingly fetch that ball, so go easy on your pet.
Keeping your pet at their ideal weight will help to prevent excess strain on the joints. Studies in young, large breed dogs now show that any period of excess weight during the growing phase greatly increases the likelihood of degenerative joint disease developing later in life. Aim for slim and trim pets.
Regular exercise is essential for keeping joints flexible and muscles and ligaments strong. It will also help in preventing obesity.
Hydrotherapy is great for arthritic dogs. Older dogs that are very overweight or unable to exercise much because of heart conditions benefit greatly from hydrotherapy. Bobbing around supported by water and a doggie life jacket gives the muscles and joints a good work out without being too vigorous. Even cats can go to hydrotherapy. Happy paddling!
