Chondroprotective dietary supplement specially formulated for large breed puppies subjected to situations that can deteriorate their joints or with a genetic predisposition to suffer from dysplasia.
Puppies grow at an incredible rate during the first 18-24 months and multiply their birth weight an average of 60 times. As your puppy grows, the rapid growth puts pressure on the joints. Synoquin Growth can help during development, especially in certain breeds that are already prone to joint problems.
Synoquin incorporates in its exclusive formula five components that help the good health of the joints:
- Chondroitin sulfate is a fundamental component of the cartilage that surrounds the joints and is in charge of correct hydration, maintaining the elasticity and flexibility of the joint, preventing the deterioration of the cartilage.
- Glucosamine HCl stimulates the synthesis of cartilage glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), especially in older animals. It improves the quality of GAGs in cartilage, prevents thinning of cartilage and improves joint mobility.
- N acetyl D glucosamine achieves higher GAG production, improving cartilage repair.
- Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) prevents further damage caused by free radicals within the joint.
- Zinc Sulfate essential in the enzymatic processes of the whole body. It is especially important in the formation of cartilage and bone.
Benefits
Joints are important for long-term well-being and for maintaining a healthy life. It benefits mobility, helps the joints, your puppy to maintain a healthy lifestyle and promotes the good condition of the cartilage.
What else can you do?
Three key things influence a dog's joint health; genetics, exercise and nutrition.
- Genetics: some races are more prone than others to suffer joint problems. You can do a small search to find out if your puppy's breed is used to having a common problem. Talk to your vet for advice if you are considering having a dog of a susceptible breed, such as a Labrador or German Shepherd. Make sure you get a puppy from a responsible breeder.
- Exercise: Keep your puppy fit and active to strengthen his muscles and joints and keep them happy.
- Nutrition: a healthy diet is essential to provide your puppy with all the nutrients it requires for a good development and a healthy life.
