Arthritis in Dogs

Joint pain, muscle spasms, and arthritis is almost inevitable with aging pets. These painful episodes can begin as early as 5 years young to a more senior dog. Sometimes joint pain and arthritis can be triggered by immune disorders, infections, or other ailments related to tissue deterioration. While arthritis can manifest itself in any part of a dog’s skeletal structure, it most frequently develops in the joint tissues of the shoulders and hips. It is not only painful for your pets; it can also be challenging to manage as a pet parent.

How can CBD help?

Penelope’s Bloom has a wide range of best-selling CBD products made exclusively for dogs with joint issues and challenges.  Our products for CBD for dogs include full spectrum CBD oil made with the highest quality hemp extract and made with non-GMO, organically grown, and pesticide-free hemp.  All products include human-grade organic and vegan ingredients and expertly tested by an independent, third-party lab for safety, potency and effectiveness.

CBD oil has many health benefits for dogs with arthritis and joint pain.  One of the first signs of arthritis is inflammation throughout the body where joints are weakening. For thousands of years CBD has been used for its pain relief properties. One of the ways it does this is by helping change the way the central nervous system communicates to the sensation of pain to the brain. Additionally, CBD has been known to reduce inflammation by working through the endocannabinoid system (ECS) and help managing and targeting the two most important factors of arthritis, pain, and inflammation.  

The best CBD oils and CBD Joint treats in the market are Penelope’s Bloom as they are exclusively made in the USA, prepared in small batches for quality control, include organic and human grade ingredients, and infused with essential vitamins and minerals.

As a potent anti-inflammatory agent, turmeric is a top natural remedy for arthritis and joint pain.

A study published in 2014 looked at the effects of turmeric on human osteoarthritis patients.

NSAIDs for Dogs with Arthritis

Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are the preferred method for veterinarians who treat dogs with arthritis and joint pain. Some of the most common NSAIDs prescribed by veterinarians are Rimady, Dermaxx, and Carprofen. The issue with these medications is that they have been shown to cause further joint deterioration as well as some other serious side effects.

The way that NSAIDs alleviate the symptoms of arthritis is by inhibiting the production of enzymes that cause the inflammatory response. The issue is, as is the case with many single-target western pharmaceutical medications, that by totally inhibiting the production of one of the body’s important functional enzymes, you also inhibit all the necessary functions that enzyme controls.

The result is possible toxicity and damage to our pets’ vital organs. Evidence shows long term use of NSAIDs can negatively affect the healthy functioning of a dogs’ liver, kidneys and stomach.
