The Very Best Quality
Medications for Arthritis
Arthritis is not a simple disease.

It's associated with simple wear and tear of the joints due to age.
It's a genetic disease.  It's associated with circulation and vascular problems.  It's associated with metabolic and nutrition problems. And finally, it's a degenerative disease ... of the joints but also the muscles and nerves.  It comes in all degrees.

There is no cure.  But luckily there are several products that can slow down the effects of this disease process and make your cat or dog comfortable.

Duralactin:  is an inexpensive, very interesting medication made from hyperimmunized cows !  Duralactin is super safe for both cats and dogs, can be used safely in conjunction with other pain drugs and is helpful in reducing the inflammation of arthritis.  I also recommend it for ear infections, bladder infections, and cancer patients. 

Dasuquin, ChondroFlex, and SynoviFlex are new generation, superior glucosamine products that contain pharmaceutical grade glucosmaine, low molecular weight chondroitin (so it can be absorbed) Avacado oils, and MSM which strengthens connective tissue.  For cats and dogs.

Rimadyl: One of the most effective pain medications on the market known as Cox-2 inhibitors.  Chewable.  For dogs only.

JD Diet:  This prescription diet is designed to minimize joint inflammation and increase circulation to joints.  Many dogs are able to discontinue pain medications when on this diet.

Slentrol:  This new 97% effective weight loss medication was introduced in 2007 and works well.  Getting excess weight off is an important part of preventing and treating joint disease.  Dogs only.

Adequan Injections:  Very effective for most dogs in late stage arthritis.

Anti-Oxidant Supplementation:  Arthritis is partly an oxidative, degenerative disease and supplementation with high quality anti-oxidants help not only with joint diseases but with most of the other problems associated with aging.

Omega Fatty Acid Supplements: helpful in improving circulation to the joints.  Poor circulation is a big part of the problem in arthritis.

Usually some combination of these products is needed for severe and advanced arthrtitis.



Arthritis is a disease for which we don't yet have a cure.  And typical of diseases without a cure, there are hundreds of near worthless products being hawked by the multi-level marketing people, the nutritional supplement market and so forth claiming to cure arthritis.

There's magnet therapy
Colloidal Minerals
Copper Bracelets
Blue Green Algae
Koni Berry Juice
Wild Yam Extract
Glucosamine
Chondroitin
MSM
and many more

Some of the above products such as glucosamine have proven to be very helpful but that has lead to another problem and that's quality control.
Nutriceuticals are not regulated and it turns out that there are lots of glucosamine and other such products that when tested have grossly inadequate active ingredients.

The products we have are made by major, reputable companies and independently tested for quality control.

It's worth the extra 2 or 3 dollars to get the name brands when it comes to neutriceutical supplements.
