Anti-inflammatory nutrition to reduce pain and support mobility
Arthritis affects over 20% of adult dogs and up to 80% of senior dogs. This degenerative joint disease causes inflammation, cartilage breakdown, and chronic pain that reduces mobility and quality of life. While arthritis can't be cured, proper nutrition can significantly reduce inflammation, slow progression, support cartilage health, and improve your dog's comfort and mobility. Anti-inflammatory fresh food combined with targeted nutrients like glucosamine, chondroitin, and omega-3 fatty acids provides a powerful, natural approach to managing joint health.
Inflammation Control: Chronic inflammation accelerates cartilage breakdown. Anti-inflammatory nutrients reduce this damage.
Cartilage Support: Glucosamine and chondroitin provide building blocks for cartilage repair and maintenance.
Lubrication: Hyaluronic acid from bone broth helps lubricate joints and reduce friction.
Weight Management: Excess weight places enormous stress on joints. Fresh food supports healthy weight.
Antioxidants: Protect joint tissues from oxidative damage and slow aging.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids (EPA/DHA): Powerful anti-inflammatory compounds that reduce joint pain and stiffness. Found in fish oil.
Glucosamine: Supports cartilage production and repair. Naturally present in bone broth from slow-simmered bones.
Chondroitin: Works with glucosamine to maintain cartilage elasticity and hydration.
Collagen: Building block for cartilage, tendons, and ligaments. Abundant in bone broth.
Vitamin C: Supports collagen production.
Manganese: Essential mineral for cartilage and bone formation.

Book a Nutrition ConsultationMany dogs show reduced stiffness and improved mobility within 2-4 weeks of starting anti-inflammatory fresh food. Maximum benefits typically appear after 6-8 weeks as inflammation decreases and joints heal. Consistency is key - this is a long-term nutritional approach, not a quick fix.
Bone broth provides natural glucosamine, chondroitin, and collagen, but dogs with moderate to severe arthritis often benefit from additional glucosamine/chondroitin supplements. A typical dose is 20mg glucosamine per pound of body weight daily. Combine bone broth (2-4 oz daily) with supplements for maximum benefit.
Many dogs on anti-inflammatory fresh food diets experience significant pain reduction, sometimes allowing for reduced medication dosages under veterinary supervision. Never stop prescribed medications without consulting your vet, but fresh food can be a powerful complementary therapy that may reduce long-term medication needs.
Absolutely critical! Studies show that even a 10% reduction in body weight can reduce arthritis pain by up to 50%. Every extra pound places 4x that amount of stress on joints. Our turkey meals are ideal for weight management - lean protein, low calorie, but satisfying and nutritious.
