Chondroitin Side Effects And Your Dog Natural Arthritis Remedies And Their Side Effects

Feb. 19, 2011 - PRLog -- Dog owner and lover Alan Sterrett seeks to spread the truth about canine arthritis remedies and the hidden underbelly of the evil pharmaceutical companies who push dangerous medications. Alan's blog www.eglucosaminefordogs.net covers the risks associated with
both natural and pharmaceutical arthritis remedies.

Concord, CA Feb. 19, 2011 -- While many pet owners are challenged with dealing with their pet's arthritis Alan Sterrett has been studying for years about the natural alternatives to prescription drugs, holistic remedies and supplemental nutrition like using glucosamine and chondroitin for dogs arthritis along with their side effects.

Through his studies Alan has always noted that "I see a pattern, natural remedies are often the lesser preferred choice after pet owners have spoken with their Veterinarian." Much of this confusion comes from two main causes.

1) Veterinarians are not educated enough about holistic remedies and nutrition.
2) If an authority such as a Veterinarian makes a suggestion it must be okay. The pet owner usually believes this is the only option they have.

Nutritional supplementation is becoming more accepted across the nation as news of deaths and adverse side effects from prescription medications spread. Chondroitin is one of those supplements that is starting to become more widely used for pet arthritis relief.

Chondroitin is a naturally occurring molecule in the dogs body. With the popularity of chondroitin supplements these days, you have to be properly informed about the chondroitin side effects that you have to watch out for when treating your dogs signs of arthritis. It is in fact a major component of the cartilage, which are the connective tissues that form cushions in the joints.

Chondroitin helps keep the cartilage healthy by putting in fluids into the connective tissues, making them soft and flexible. It is also a major component in the production of new cartilage in your dogs body.

There have been many research studies that concretely suggest the effectiveness of chondroitin supplementation in treating osteoarthritis A.K.A. Osteochondritis. Chondroitin is often combined with glucosamine, which in turn is an amino acid sugar that helps in
forming and repairing cartilage.

Chondroitin side effects are rare and include mild discomfort in most cases. Symptoms such as nausea, upset stomach, diarrhea or constipation, indigestion or vomiting. If you notice these side effects your dog may have an allergic reaction to the chondroitin base
ingredient. many times the baser for glucosamine and chondroitin is shellfish and some dogs as well as people do have seafood allergies.

Sterrett encourages all pet owners to educate themselves on the importance of nutrition, holistic remedies and supplemental nourishment to help relieve the signs of arthritis in their pets. Also Sterrett emphasizes that starting with proper nutrition at an early stage in your dogs life can have a huge impact on the quality and longevity of your pet's life and degeneration resistance.

There are many blogs, medical journals and customer advocates supporting natural health for ther pets and the importance of getting away from processed non nourishing foods like dry food and processed meat (wet foods) that aid in the development of arthritis in your pet.

Alan encourages all pet owners to get the advice and education they need to start helping their pets thrive on life. All pursuers of all natural arthritis remedies and all natural nutrition for your pet should make the request for the information at www.eglucosaminefordogs.net
