“The UK is a nation of dog lovers and while owners should obviously take care of their own health too, this data just goes to show how much most dogs really are beloved family members.
“Joint pain is common in companion animals such as dogs, cats and horses, but is especially prevalent in dogs. As our pets age, joint health can be the cause of frequent visits to the vets, but, just like in humans, regular use of essential vitamins and nutritional products from a young age, can act as a safeguard and a cost-effective way of maintaining flexible and healthy joints.”
PetVits from Health Plus offer a range of joint supplements for dogs and cats such as their Joint Care Formula which helps to reduce joint pain by reducing inflammation and promoting the health of tendons, ligaments and synovial fluids to cushion joints – from £11.95 (90 tabs).
