K9 Officers: Saving Us Despite Dog Joint Pain

Over the past few weeks, and even the past couple of days, there has been a lot of talk about bomb sniffing dogs. As a dog lover myself and advocate for animal welfare and promoter of veterinary care, I’ve been paying close attention.

Man’s best friend has an important job. They guard our homes and show us unconditional love with happy tail wags and slobbery kisses. But they can save thousands of lives with their noses. If anything, this should remind us to make sure that our dogs need extra special care. They can’t speak for themselves so it’s our job to make sure we’re attuned to their nonverbal cues. It’s our job to be proactive and spot discomfort and get treatment.

Right around the time of the Boston Bombings, I was approached by police detective looking to get help. His K9 partner suffered from severe hip dysplasia. Having tried prescription drugs, the detective tried Synflex for Pets dog joint supplements. His 8 ½ year old German Shepherd started showing improvements.

K9 officers and dogs with other jobs like seeing eye dogs and therapy dogs have special roles in protecting us and helping us heal. Trainers and handlers become attached to their partners because not only are they making a difference, but they show us love too. In order to keep these special dogs doing their jobs, happy, and healthy, more and more handlers are looking to dog joint supplements to ward off dog joint pain.

Glucosamine dog joint supplements rebuilds cartilage between joints. Like with  humans, dogs joint pain occurs when bones rub against each other. Rebuilding cartilage between joints aids with pain relief. Dogs with jobs deserve to work arthritis pain free.
