Understanding Joint Health in Dogs
Joint problems are common in dogs, especially as they grow older, gain weight, or stay very active. When the cartilage in their joints wears down, it leads to stiffness, pain, and reduced movement. This is known as osteoarthritis, a condition that can greatly affect a dog’s daily life.
Feeding the right nutrition early and consistently makes a huge difference. Hill’s dog food formulas like the hills jd dog food and hills jd mobility dog food are specially designed to support joint health with clinically proven ingredients. Omega-3 fatty acids help reduce inflammation, glucosamine and chondroitin protect cartilage, and antioxidants keep joints strong and healthy. With the right diet, your dog can move more freely and enjoy a better quality of life.
