Description

Specific CJD Joint Support contains unique high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA for support of a healthy joint function and mobility. It also contains psyllium husk which absorbs several times its weight in liquid and is known for its beneficial effect on the regulation of the gastrointestinal tract activity. Since overweight dogs put extra load on the locomotor system it is important to monitor the body weight and condition of dogs carefully and adjust the feeding advice accordingly in order to reach or maintain an ideal body weight. Substitution of present fatty acids with EPA and DHA from CJD Joint Support into the cell membranes takes time. For this reason it can take up to 6-12 weeks before the full effect of the diet can be seen.

Benefits

  • Mobility support - Unique high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA for support of a healthy joint function and mobility
  • Omega-3 from fish - The omega-3 fatty acids are derived from fish oil and thus present as preformed EPA and DHA to benefit immediately from their beneficial effects
  • Moderate energy - A complete, balanced diet with a very moderate energy density for support of optimal weight management and maintenance of healthy joints. Contains L-carnitine to stimulate fat oxidation and preservation of lean muscle mass
  • Joint protection - Natural glucosamine and chondroitin for support of healthy joints. High levels of antioxidants to scavenger free radicals in the joints. High level of manganese, a cofactor in the synthesis of proteoglycans, to support a healthy joint function

Feeding guidelines

The daily individual requirement may vary depending on factors such as breed, environment, season, activity etc. Especially in dogs with a low level of physical activity, the daily energy need is relatively low. Overweight should be prevented since this will put extra load on the locomotor system. It is advisable to continue monitoring the condition
and body weight of the dog, adjusting the feeding amount accordingly in order to maintain an ideal body weight.

55 Charlie loves his food ...
Verified Purchase

We were recommended Specific Joint Support for Charlie by our vet. He's had both his back legs operated on as he had joint problems. Due to lack of exercise he became overweight and the vet recommended he was put on a diet. He has 200g a day and has lost so much weight! He's so much happier now and more energetic. I would fully recommend this dog food to anyone who's dog is overweight

This food has helped my Rottie amazingly. She has sadly got shot elbows and since eating this food she has been much more active however it is in combination with anti inflammatories. Do feel it is slightly over priced

  • VioVet Staff

This diet is for adult dogs. Whether your dog is classed as 'adult' depends on the breed. Smaller breeds reach full size earlier, at around 12 months old, but larger breeds can take up to 18 yo 24 months to be classed as adult. This is a veterinary diet so you are best discussing it's use with your vet anyway, they will be able to advise further.
