JOINT SUPPLEMENTS

The use of joint nutrient supplements, glucosamine, chondroitin sulphate and MSM to soothe stiff joints and help maintain mobility in aging cats is well established. These are normally used as part of a management program that includes nutrition, exercise and drug therapies.

PATIENT COMPLIANCE

Patient compliance is an essential consideration for products that are chronically administered. To maximize compliance it is vital that such products are presented in a tasty base; one that will not eventually bore the cat and lead to resistance.

A high degree of individual response has been noted with pets given joint nutrient supplements.

Normal caution should be observed in cats with a history of diabetes, metabolic disorders causing hyperglycaemia, urinary tract stones or allergies to shellfish.
