When your dog has limped after a play session, or has appeared to have a stiff gait when he gets up in the morning, then inflammation is the unsuspected cause. Although it is a normal process of the healing process, persistent or uncontrolled inflammation may silently destroy the mobility of your dog in the long run. When left untreated, it causes discomfort, damage to the joints, and even tendons and ligament problems that cause pain when making daily movements.
Inflammation is a process that takes place when the body recognizes the damage to the tissue and directs white blood cells to the damaged place in order to heal the tissue. It is helpful in the short run. However, when inflammation is chronic, whether it is because of age, overworking, injury or a predisposition such as arthritis, it starts to work against the body. The joints, ligaments and soft tissue that are affected swell, become painful and less functional. This inflammation may be destructive to cartilage, lower the quality of joint fluid, and cause stress to the nearby muscles and tendons, all of which have direct influence on the ability of your dog to move comfortably.
Most dog owners resort to the use of NSAIDs or prescription drugs to alleviate inflammation. Although they can help temporarily, their extended use is usually accompanied by risks, such as liver overload, gastrointestinal problems, and suppressed immune system. This is why more and more pet parents are seeking natural remedies, those that target the cause of inflammation rather than the symptoms, and that do not affect the overall health of their dog in any way.
Enzyme therapy is one of the most promising natural therapies. Such enzymes as serrapeptase, which is included in the proprietary Arto Velox blend used in Forte Flex K9, can assist the body to balance the inflammation cycle. Serrapeptase in particular acts by degrading the proteins related to inflammation and improving blood circulation to the damaged parts. Not only does this decrease the swelling but also helps the body to heal itself naturally. With the course of time, dogs will be able to move better, have reduced stiffness and be able to recover faster not only after the common wear but also after more severe injuries.
Forte Flex K9 has the full-leg-system support, which is its distinguishing feature. Whereas most supplements address the issue of joint lubrication alone, Forte Flex K9 is a combination of glucosamine, collagen type II, hyaluronic acid and potent enzymes to address the problem of inflammation as well as strengthening the structural tissues that are used in the mobility process. The outcome is not only short term pain relief but a long term increase in flexibility, strength and comfort.
When your dog is slowing down or having trouble walking or moving, or even when it is healing after a soft tissue injury, then it is almost a surety that inflammation is involved. And though you can not avoid all the bumps and sprains, you can provide your dog with the means to recover quicker and live longer, naturally and not only with the help of drugs.
Helping your dog to move is not a matter of dealing with pain but taking proactive action with daily care. Controlling inflammation inside-out with a supplement such as Forte Flex K9 is not only helping your dog move better but it is helping your dog live better.
