Staying supple as they age
Stiffness creeps in. An animal that struggles to get up, moves less, or walks stiffly for the first minutes after rest is telling you something, usually long before there is any real lameness. Act early and you keep freedom of movement for longer.
What you see, and what sits underneath
Three things happen at once in a joint: cartilage thins, joint fluid lubricates less, and the surrounding muscles take over the work and tighten up as a result.
That is why the formulas in this range work in different places. NewJoint-Extra targets cartilage formation, Rear-Motion the joints in back, neck and hindquarters, and Anolgon gentle support after exertion.
Movement stays the foundation
Herbs do their best work in an animal that keeps moving. Short, regular movement beats one long effort a week, especially in stiff animals.
Keep an eye on weight. Every extra kilo is daily load on exactly the joints you are trying to spare.
