How Pedigree research has
helped Bring Back The Bounce
Studies show that one in five dogs in the UK experience joint stiffness, and up
to a third of all dogs over the age of five show signs of reduced mobility. As well
as affecting the dog, this can also become an upsetting experience for the owner,
as they see their dog unable to live with the same exuberance they remember. See
how Pedigree research has helped to make a difference.
Using our mussels
There comes a time when dogs slow down and can experience a little joint stiffness.
But it doesn’t have to be an unavoidable part of the ageing process. Pedigree®
Joint Care+ treats are designed to help ease the joint stiffness that’s
slowing him down.
Your doggy’s daily diet
When we take our daily vitamins, we don’t always feel the benefit straight
away. You often have take them every day over several weeks before they actually
start to help you. It’s exactly the same with your dog and his Pedigree®
Joint Care+ treats. To see the best results, you’ll need to make sure
your dog enjoys one treat every day. After doing that for just 6 weeks, hopefully
you could see more of a spring in his step.
A glimpse inside a joint
So far, we’ve talked a lot about joints. But maybe it’s time we had
a closer look at them. Why are they so important and why exactly do we need to keep
them healthy? Think of your dog’s joints like shock absorbers. They are
in constant use, cushioning his bones to prevent wear and tear. Inevitably, as your
dog gets older, he experiences the same wear and tear on his joints as we do.
Keep on moving
It goes without saying that keeping your dog slim and fit will help to reduce extra
stress on his joints. And, of course, once he has his bounce back, regular exercise
will help to keep his joints supple, and keep his heart and lungs healthy too.
Time to dust off the walking boots
Planning some lovely long walks with your dog? The great thing is that walking
is good for you too, as it lowers blood pressure, tones muscles and helps burn calories.
So a good walk can not only help maintain your dog’s mobility, but can also
keep you fit too.
