Joint Guard is not a drug, but a natural nutritional supplement, so it may take some time before you notice a significant improvement. 

An initial treatment period of 4-6 weeks at the maximum dose is recommended to ‘load up’ your pet’s joints with optimal levels of the glucosamine and chondroitin.  Once the loading dose has been achieved, you only need to 'top up' that dose every day with a smaller amount.  Your pack of Joint Guard will help you work out the best dose for your pet based on his/her weight, or talk to your vet as each pet's needs can be different.

Osteoarthritis is a common disease causing progressive degeneration of your pet’s joints, which can cause pain, reduce walking, activity and mobility, and even cause changes in behaviour and temperament.

​

• The incidence of osteoarthritis significantly increases with age

• In dogs, larger breeds like Labradors, Golden Retrievers, German Shepherds and Rottweilers, are at increased risk of developing osteoarthritis

• Overweight pets face an increased risk

• Joint injuries or surgery increase the risk of developing osteoarthritis

If your best friend has any of the following symptoms they may be suffering osteoarthritis

​

• Lameness or stiffness (especially after resting)?

• Reduced interest in walks?

• Difficulty jumping or climbing stairs?

• Loss of muscle tone in affected limbs?

• Pain in affected limbs?

• Depression, irritability or reduced sociability?

• Licking or biting affected area?

Adding Joint Guard as a supplement to your pet’s food is a clinically proven way to help reduce the symptoms of osteoarthritis. You can also help by managing anything that might be contributing. And of course, if you’re worried about your best friend, consult your vet.
