Dog health and dog medicines go hand in
hand. Many dog owners often look for the quick fix
when their pet is ill or needs medical treatment.
This is often the easiest and most practical solution for
many pet owners. But is it the most beneficial
decision for your pet?
There’s no doubt that veterinary medicine has
achieved major advances in pet health during the last 10
years. From antibiotics, steroids, non-steroidal
pain relievers, and other drugs to diagnostic procedures
and understanding of disease processes, medicines
for pets have steadily improved and been brought to
market. Similarly, there has been increased
focus and awareness of non prescribed holistic medicinal
remedies.
Many dog owners use these holistic alternatives
because of the short and long term negative effects that
some medicines have on their pets. Many holistic or
non prescribed vitamins or treatments are less costly and
less harsh on the dog's internal organs. In some
cases, the improvement is the same or better with the
holistic alternative.
Rimadyl is an example of a common prescribed medicine
for dog's with joint pain, canine arthritis, canine hip
dysplasia, and rheumatoid arthritis. It has shown
to be effective but there some sad stories to
tell. Many dogs have unexpectedly died soon
after beginning Rimadyl. The liver and
kidney's are unable to remove the toxicity from their
bodies and the dog dies. This mostly occurs in
older dogs but it has happened to dog's as young as 15
months.
The fact that Rimadyl is expensive and that it works
on some dogs and kills other dogs is only part of the
picture. Rimadyl relieves pain and is an
anti-inflammatory drug but it does nothing to fix the
core problem with your dog. In other
words, Rimadyl relieves the pain but doesn't have a
disease modifying effect. That is where an
alternative such as Free & Easy for Dogs can
help. Free and Easy contains natural ingredients
to relieve inflammation and help the core problem with
your dog. For example, a key problem in Canine Hip
Dysplasia is the lack of synovial fluid. Synovial
fluid helps lubricate the joints and without this
lubrication, friction occurs which results in pain
and inflammation. Free and Easy contains Hyaluronic
Acid which is necessary for the production of
healthy synovial (Joint) fluid. This is only one
of the ingredients that Free & Easy uses to help
eliminate or modify the disease. Also
important is the quality of the ingredients, not the
quantity. Many manufacturers will skimp on these
because of the expense. An example is Chondroitin.
Chondroitin is taken from cartilage from from 4 major
sources: cows, pigs, fish, and chicken. It is
relatively expensive so many manufacturers will compromise
on the quality of this supplement. Free & Easy
for Dogs contains quality amounts of gluclosamine and
chondroitin to ensure a quality product. Free
& Easy has many more ingredients
which work synergistically to provide long term relief
for your pet.
