4CYTE™ Dog - This is why A JOINT SUPPORT SUPPLEMENT is vital for PREVENTATIVE CARE

In a perfect world, we’d be actively supporting our dogs’ joint health with 4CYTE™ for dogs from around 6 months of age. But that’s not always possible, so it’s important to detect any signs that your dog is slowing down so you can start treatment. That can be difficult – some dogs show discomfort with arthritis, while others cope so well it can be hard to tell. So, here’s some information that might help you make sure your dog gets the care he needs, when he needs it, with an effective joint support supplement  .  

Osteoarthritis affects 1 in 5 dogs, and its prevalence increases as dogs age. It’s therefore highly likely your dog has or will get arthritis. Symptoms tend to reveal themselves later in life, but what ‘later’ means depends on the individual dog. Joint support supplements  can play an important role in the comfort of your dog.  

In general, giant breed dogs age faster than smaller breed dogs. A Great Dane is considered to be senior by roughly 5-6 years old, whereas a Chihuahua would likely only be middle-aged by then, and not considered senior until 10-11 years.  

Large breed dogs fall somewhere in between. A Labrador Retriever might be considered senior by 8-10 years of age. Genetics, nutrition, activity level and environment all play a role in how fast your dog, ages too.   Working Dogs are athletes and like humans, experience wear and tear to their joints. As the saying goes, prevention is better than cure, so make sure you include a well researched joint supplement such as 4CYTE™ Dog in your canine athlete’s daily regime.

So, keep this in mind if you haven’t had the opportunity to implement joint health products from a young age – the earlier you intervene, the better the outcomes in slowing or repairing damage, and supporting quality of life. If you need help identifying the signs of ageing joints, give us a call!  

So, what can you do?
