Hills J/D Diet The New Super Food For Joints!
Hills J/D (Joint) diet is a prescription diet specifically designed to treat arthritis is dogs. J/D contains very high (40x) levels of Omega-3 Fatty Acids including EPA.
EPA is stored in the cartilage in the joints of dogs and helps to minimise inflammation. It also offers protection against cartilage damaging enzymes.
Studies have shown that a significant number of arthritic dogs, fed J/D showed a marked improvement in mobility and a reduction in pain. The improvement was so significant that many were able to decrease the dose of their pain medication by up to one quarter. We recommend feeding J/D to any dog that has symptoms of arthritis including pain, difficulty rising or lameness as well as any young dog with hip or elbow dysplasia. For more information about this diet please speak to David, Rachael or Michelle.
