As pets age, their joints can become stiff and painful, making mobility a challenge. The right diet can support joint health, reduce inflammation, and improve mobility.
1. The Role of Glucosamine and Chondroitin
These two compounds support cartilage health and joint lubrication, helping pets with arthritis or mobility issues. Stella & Chewy’s and Honest Kitchen offer glucosamine-rich formulas to promote joint care.
2. Omega-3 Fatty Acids for Joint Health
Omega-3s reduce inflammation and support joint flexibility. Foods containing wild-caught fish, salmon oil, or flaxseed, such as Vital Essentials Freeze-Dried Raw, are excellent choices for joint support.
3. High-Quality Protein for Muscle Support
Strong muscles help stabilize joints and prevent injuries. Choose high-protein pet foods like Instinct Raw or Primal Freeze-Dried Raw to support muscle maintenance.
For pets with joint issues, switching to a joint-supporting diet can make a significant difference. Browse The Hungry Puppy’s selection of joint health pet foods here.
