Do you know that 20 percent of the 60 million American dogs we own as pets suffer from arthritis? It is a very common condition in our senior canine friends. If you notice something is off with your dog, but aren’t exactly sure what might be the cause, here are some common signs of animal joint pain:

* Reluctance to walk, climb stairs, jump or play
* Limping
* Lagging behind on walks
* Difficulty rising from a resting position
* Yelping in pain when touched & resisting being touched
* A personality change because of the pain
Over the counter drugs such as aspirin may dampen pain, but do nothing to treat your pet's arthritis. Possible side effects include vomiting, diarrhea, constipation, nausea, and cramps. Traditional veterinarians might recommend steroidal medicine prescriptions. However, due to the many potential side effects of these drugs, including liver and kidney problems, vomiting, ulcers and excessive urination, more and more pet owners are turning to natural dog joint care. Studies show that natural remedies can be as effective as prescription drugs in alleviating joint and muscle pain, without the potential adverse reactions of these chemical-based drugs.
The natural remedy, FlexPet with CM8, has been proven to correct the problems and eliminate pet joint pain by reducing the inflammation while lubricating the effected joints. This is mainly because of the main ingredient, Cetyl Myristoleate. In addition to it being an immune system modulator, CM8 delivers special nutrients and herbs to the joints, bones, and surrounding tissue. It alleviates pain, boosts immunity, strengthens the skeletal system, removes harmful toxins and promotes general health and well being.
