Natural Joint Pain Relief for Pets - What to Consider
- 02/05/2013
You need to consider how big your dog is when you're trying to find the ideal natural joint pain relief for pets, as well as the causes of their joint pain. If they have arthritis, this is different than if they have sore joints from an excess of exercise. Depending on the situation, there are many different herbs that might be helpful. You also have many homeopathic options that might help with joint pain relief when applied topically or taken internally.
If you're looking for natural joint pain relief for pets, you're going to have to consider many different factors of the situation. You probably know that talking to your vet yields little information if they're not familiar with the use of natural therapies. For this reason, you should try to find a vet that you can speak with who is experienced with alternative medicine. They can talk to you about your pet to help you find the best natural joint pain relief.
Should your pet have inflamed joints, you might explore using herbal mixtures that can be taken as teas and tinctures. Three of the most popular for joint pain are Turmeric, St. John's Wort, and Feverfew. Each of these herbs are said to have anti-inflammatory properties, and may be applied topically as well as taken internally. Please be sure to consult your vet before trying anything.
Apparently, Turmeric is great for human use and is said to be useful in helping some dogs with inflamed joints, as well as arthritic joints. You can ask your vet about feeding them the turmeric as the vet can recommend the dosage. Some people have claimed to have mixed the turmeric powder with oil such as jojoba or almond, and applied it directly to the joints as a natural joint pain relief for pets. It is said that the orange color of this herb is very strong, so the oil will definitely be visible on their skin.
You should be able to tell if any of these forms of natural joint pain relief for pets work for your pet because they will act differently if their pain is relieved. Depending on the size of your pet, you might give them some tea or tincture of these herbs with their food. However, make sure you speak with a vet who has full knowledge of alternative medicine, before you give your pet anything.
Some things, like an overnight infusion of Nettle tea, are said to be a nutritive and useful without much precaution, but you still need to make sure your veterinarian approves your decision before you give your pet anything.
If you're using herbs that are anything other than nutritive; that is, herbs that are stimulating or anti-inflammatory, you should seek advice from someone who has experience prescribing natural joint pain relief for pets. This will help you to be sure to make the right decision.
