A little dive into the research behind joint supplements for our pets- just as much of a minefield for dogs as it is for us humans! 💪 🦴

DISCLAIMER
When looking into including a supplement in your pets diet, it is always best to consult a vet first. Some can interfere with other medications or conditions.

Supplements are a minefield for us humans and pets alike! Unfortunately it’s an under researched area with lots of conflict so I have summarised a little to help understand current research.

Omega 3’s
Thought to reduce inflammation to support joints, skin, coat, heart & brain.

Research suggests this is a plausible mechanism and it consistently has been seen in studies to provide pain relief.

Green lipped mussel
Supposedly provides anti-inflammatory effects, supports joints lubrication and cartilage structure.

Research shows that it can reduce pain, inflammation and improve mobility.

Glucosamine & Chondroitin
These are “chondroprotective agents” functioning together to maintain and repair the joints.

Studies more recently have shown these to have very minimal effects on the joints, and there is not enough high quality research to support their use alone.

Curcumin (turmeric)
It is thought to be a powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant.

Research suggests that regular turmeric isn’t very well absorbed by dogs and it requires other things to function. However, clinical trials have shown that pairing it there may be some anti-inflammatory effects.

Collagen
Is supposed to act as a structural protein to maintain cartilage, tendons and ligament.

There are 2 different types and research has found that they do have some positive effects, though this is inconsistent.

Hyaluronic acid
A component of synovial fluid to help lubricate joints and shock absorb.

As a food supplement there is very little evidence for its efficacy due to it requiring digestion for absorption. Although some promising results when “stacking” with other nutrients.

CBD
Supposedly reduces inflammation and alters the brain’s perception of pain signals.

Again, limited reliability of studies but there is some promising evidence.

Boswellia
Claimed to work by blocking enzymes which trigger pain and inflammation.

A handful of studies have found improved mobility and generally positive results, however these were not the most reliable due to the trial formats.

DISCLAIMER- it’s always recommended to consult with your vet as some supplements can interfere with other medication & conditions

Joey🦘 A very long overdue update on the most gorgeous tripawd boy!

Some of you may remember me posting Joey last year as he was struggling with a repaired elbow fracture that refused to heal- unfortunately the choice was made that the leg couldn’t be saved but now Joey is happier and healthier than ever! 💪

I see Joey fortnightly for Physiotherapy to maintain his strength, function, balance and coordination and he is doing amazingly- his owners say he bounds around happier than ever now he doesn’t have that pesky sore right foreleg holding him back 🌟

Joey loves his treatment, especially as I always make sure there’s time for cuddles and belly rubs 🥰

If you think your pet may benefit from some Physiotherapy, whether they’re slowing down in older age, have recently suffered an injury, or are just wanting to improve their fitness, please don’t hesitate to get in touch and we can discuss how it can help keep them tip top 💯

Meet Daisy🌼

I’ve been seeing Daisy for a few months now for Osteoarthritis in several joints and she’s the loveliest girl!

To get her used to treatment we’d been giving her snacks to keep her focused, but today we tried without and this happened😴A very snoozey girl which took me and her owner by surprise!

At Next Steps Veterinary Physiotherapy we recognise that all animals are individual and work with them to not only get the best possible outcome, but to make sure they are comfortable every step of the way☺️

Nev showing off his Equafleece💜

Colder weather can be tricky for senior animals and those with mobility issues (particularly Osteoarthritis), but there are ways we can manage this!

🧣Wrapping up warm
Coats & jumpers do serve a purpose (as well as looking adorable). They help keep our animals warm, particularly when out on walks, preventing stiff joints, keeping muscles soft and supple to maintain flexibility. Snug fitting ones are best but make sure they don’t restrict movement or prevent them from being able to toilet.

Supporting sleep🛌
Make sure your pet has somewhere supportive, soft and cozy to sleep to cushion joints and help them warm up. Orthopaedic beds are the optimal choice.

Recovery🔥
After being out you can use a hot water bottle or wheat pack (covered in a blanket) on your pet whilst supervised for 10 minutes or so to support circulation and reduce muscle tension.

A home exercise plan may also be beneficial on those days where we get extreme weather conditions. Movement is medicine- even in winter- the aim is to manage the effects on our pets so they can still keep moving! 💪

If you think your pet would benefit from extra support this winter then please feel free to get in contact and let me share how Physiotherapy can keep them tip top!🐕🐈‍⬛

❄️ Winter Wellness Tips from Nev & Toby 🐾
With winter fast approaching, we’re here to share our top tips to help keep your dogs happy, healthy, and moving comfortably through the colder months!

🐕 Keep them warm:
When the temperature drops, pop a coat or jumper on your dog, especially if they’re elderly, young, small, or arthritic. It helps protect their joints and muscles from the cold.

🧼 Dry them off:
If your dog gets wet, towel them dry and pop on a drying robe if you have one. Keeping them warm and dry helps prevent stiffness and discomfort.

🍗Watch their waistline:
Less exercise in winter can mean fewer calories burned. If their activity level drops, it might be worth chatting with your vet about adjusting their food intake to maintain a healthy weight.

💦 Try hydrotherapy:
Hydrotherapy is a brilliant low-impact exercise option that keeps your dog fit and strong, even when outdoor walks are limited.

💆‍♀️ Support with physiotherapy:
Physiotherapy helps maintain mobility, reduce stiffness, and support joint health. A qualified physiotherapist (like me) can tailor a plan for your dog and show you simple home exercises and at home therapies to keep them moving well between sessions.

⭐️Bonus tip:
Provide extra cosy bedding in a warm spot to help protect sore joints and achey muscles after exercise or walks.

A little extra care during winter goes a long way to keeping your pup feeling their best all winter long!
