As a nation of dog lovers, with one in three of us now owning a dog, it is clear their health and wellbeing is the common priority for us as owners. Understandably, a good diet and exercise regime is paramount for their continued vitality.
The canine challenge
Sadly, our dogs face many challenges throughout their lives despite a good diet, exercise and overall management. However, mobility is one area that we can safely address both nutritionally through their diet and with management intervention.
For the dog that is working, be it in a sporting environment or extensively walked – perhaps they go out for a ride with you – their joints are heavily mobilised and so they naturally experience wear and tear.
Then you have the yard dog, enjoying their comforts, be it on lorry trips, a rug or numnah! Even if this dog is not as mobile as the working dog, their joints will still experience the natural inflammatory processes and, of course, wear and tear. In fact, reduced mobility can directly link to a reduced range of motion as when the body is mobile throughout, it helps to promote circulation and therefore provides nourishment naturally.
Winter chills
During the colder months, joints can become more troublesome due to the overall barometric pressure; this low air pressure enables the tissues to expand. This expansion can create havoc with joints and surrounding tissues, leaving our dogs in a state of discomfort.
Signs of challenged mobility
- Struggling to get up and down
- Taking time to lie down
- Moving stiffly
- Poor movement
- No enthusiasm to get in and out of car/on or off furniture
- Discomfort around joints when stroked
- Reduced enthusiasm to move
Move with NAF Mobility
To address the common challenges posed by reduced mobility, NAF’s veterinary canine range “Natural VetCare” (NVC) targets our dog’s capabilities to help give them the tools to enjoy their range of movement in comfort.
Adding NVC Mobility into their diet provides essential joint support to help your dog address day-to-day wear and tear, while supporting against exercise fatigue. It is safe to feed to all dogs, with complete joint, tendon, ligament, soft tissue and cartilage support. NVC Mobility utilises NAF’s expertise and understanding of the synergistic approach with nutrients, herbs and antioxidants, included in the right ratios across the NVC range.
NVC Mobility enables your dog to enjoy their mobility to the full, providing:
- Anti-inflammatory support
- Nutrients to nourish joint fluid and cartilage
- Assist nutrient absorption
- Support stiff active joints
- Help speed up muscle recovery
- Target mental alertness and focus
NVC Mobility works to mobilise joints synergistically through the supply of:
- MSM – supports collagen production, essential for connective tissue and cartilage health. Also supports the anti-inflammatory process and promotes a strong immune system
- Glucosamine – helps stimulate cartilage growth and synovial fluid production
- Hyaluronic acid – supports healthy synovial fluid and promotes cartilage production
- Chondroitin – targets enzyme activity that seeks to reduce cartilage production
- Omega 3’s – support muscle strength and stamina and offer strong support for the anti-inflammatory process
- Prebiotic – aid nutrient uptake and absorption
- Spirulina – supports the anti-inflammatory process and offers immunostimulating effects
- Artichoke – support for a healthy liver and digestion process
Move up to Mobility and rest assured your dog will enjoy their movement with you – no matter what you choose to do, a ride and run, or perhaps a trip out in the lorry. By offering them the right ingredients in the right ratios, you can enjoy watching them mobilise.
