Cat Arthritis/ Joint Pain Management

These include CBD products/ hemp oils and herbal remedies for joint pain.

Cat Joint Maintenance

Cat joint supplements and aids include bone broth for collagen. 

Cats can really benefit from maintenance joint supplements because their joint pain worsens with age and constant jumping.

The best cat joint supplements can include a combination of the following ingredients.

  • Glucosamine to help relieve pain and stiffness. It helps support the repair of damged cartilage.
  • Chondroitin that works with glucosamine and can help with cartilage repair and improve joint function
  • Green lipped mussles which are great for Omega 3 and anti inflammatory,
  • Curcumin (an active ingredient of turmeric) to ensure that your dog experiences pain relief/ anti-inflammatory and also has antioxidant properties.
  • MSM, which is an organic sulfur compound that can help redue pain/ inflammation. 

However, the difficulty for cats is finding the right tasting supplement. Customers may have to buy separate ingredients to combine for the best taste based on their cat's preference and needs. 

CBD (cannabidiol) is increasingly being used for pet joint pain. Many pet owners and veterinanarians are reporting positive results.

A Cornell University study found that “more than 80% of the dogs with osteoarthritis experienced a decrease in pain, allowing them to be more comfortable and active.” For more information, read CBD Oil for Dogs: Why people are using CBD for Dog Anxiety, Pain, Arthritis & Cancer.

To help with skin issues, heart disease and joint issues, we carry a range of pet omega oils such as krill oil, sardine oil, green lipped mussel oil, anchovy oil and even flaxseed oil for dogs specifically. Green lipped Mussel is rich in omega 3s and as an added benefit has astanxanthin, a powerful antioxidant for pet immune health. As such, we tend to prefer green lipped mussel. It is also ocean-friendly and a sustainable resource.
