Care of the older dog


If you are fortunate enough to have your pup grow to old age then you would know that as a dog ages their bone joints get stiffer. Small breeds that use to jump up on the couch or your bed now can't manage it at all. Larger dogs might have trouble going up or down stairs.

One of the best items I have found to help dogs with stiff joints is nutritional health supplements made with yucca. Yucca has anti-inflammatory properties and worked great for our dogs when they were 14 years old and older. You want yucca to be in the top 3 listed items of ingredients when you are looking on the supplement package. Anything less than that and you are not getting the full benefit of the yucca.
